1951 Map of Cedargrove

About this map

The Current River winds through the heart of the Ozarks in this early 1950s survey, anchoring a landscape defined by its deep spring-fed valleys and complex hollows. At the northwestern bend, Montauk State Park serves as a major focal point, featuring the local fish hatchery and the small settlement of Montauk. The map reveals a highly decentralized rural society where life revolved around a dense network of country schools and churches. One can trace the locations of the Jadwin School, Lower Parker School, and Mt Olive Church, which provided the social fabric for scattered timber and farming families across Shannon, Dent, and Texas counties.
