1925 Map of Clarksdale

About this map

The Platte River and its intricate tributaries dominate this landscape in Northwest Missouri, where the river's winding path separates the townships of Empire and Rochester. A dense network of rural infrastructure is visible, including unique river crossings like Wire Bridge and Van Meter Bridge, which served the local farming communities. The region's social fabric in the 1920s is clearly mapped through a high density of country schools and churches, such as Fountain Blue School, High Prairie Church, and Zion Church.
