About this map

The St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts a diagonal path through the rural landscape of northern Polk County, connecting the small settlement of Cliquot to the regional network. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Pomme de Terre River and its numerous tributaries, including Ashlock Creek and Davis Creek. This era of Missouri history is characterized by a dense network of localized community centers, evident in the high concentration of country schools such as Flint Sch, Moore Sch, and Ozark Sch.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Several community gathering points are noted, including Salem Ch and Harmony Ch, alongside resting places like Union Grove Cem and Morgan Cem. The map illustrates a transitional period where small school districts, like Mt Etna Sch and Liberty Sch, still served as the primary educational anchors for the townships of Jefferson, Cliquot, and Marion.
