About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path through this corner of Drew County, anchoring a series of small settlements including Killin, Enon, and Deane. At the northern edge of this 1960 survey, a Experiment Station and a designated Sewage Disposal area reflect the local infrastructure near the edge of more developed tracts. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, with Sandy Creek and Wolf Creek branching out to drain the wooded terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the rural landmarks that served these dispersed communities, such as the Enon Sch and the Rash Cem near Cominto. Farther south, the Moore Cem is situated near Rainbow Creek, offering a glimpse into the family-centered geography of the mid-20th century. The inclusion of red dashed lines marking fence and field lines provides a unique layer of detail for those tracing historic property boundaries and land use patterns across the Franklin, Marion, and Bearhouse townships.
