1961 Map of Crockerville

About this map

The boundary between Benton Co and Morgan Co divides this rural landscape, which is defined by the winding course of Haw Creek and its many tributaries. In the western portion of the map, the small settlement of Crockerville sits at a junction of backroads, while further north, the Brauersville Sch and a nearby cemetery mark an established rural community. The Chicago and Pacific Rock Island railroad cuts a clear diagonal through the center of the sheet, reflecting the vital role of rail transport in connecting these remote Missouri townships during the mid-20th century.
