About this map

The St Louis-San Francisco railroad serves as the primary industrial corridor for this portion of Pulaski County, connecting the established town of Crocker with the smaller settlement at Swedeborg. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Tavern Creek and its many tributaries, such as Gunlock Creek and Crews Branch, which carve through the Ozark terrain toward the Gasconade River in the southeast.

Rural life is anchored by a network of local institutions, including the Swedeborg School and Miller School, alongside numerous country churches like Concord Church and Zion Church. The map reveals a deeply established community pattern through family-named landmarks such as Johnson Cemetery and Schlight Cemetery. Notable topography is highlighted by the Swede Lookout Tower on a high ridge and the unique subterranean features of Tunnel Cave and Cave Lodge near the riverbanks.
