About this map

Flemington and the small siding of Cliquot anchor this mid-century look at Polk County, Missouri. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pomme De Terre River and its numerous tributaries, including Ashlock Creek and Davis Creek. Much of the river valley is preserved within the Pomme De Terre State Wildlife Management Area, while the Burlington Northern railroad cuts a north-south path through the western uplands.

Rural life is remarkably well-documented here through a high density of community centers. The map preserves the locations of numerous country schools such as Moore Sch, Watson Sch, and West Union Sch, many of which were the heart of rural neighborhoods. Genealogists will find value in the clearly marked family and community burying grounds, including Morgan Cem and Richardson Cem, alongside local congregations like Salem Ch and Union Grove Ch.
