About this map

Sac River dominates the central landscape of this mid-century topographic record, winding through the townships of South Morgan and Polk. The 1950s terrain is marked by a network of rural crossroads and community anchors, including the hub of Dadeville and the smaller settlement at Corry. Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, from family-named burial grounds like Pemberton Cem and Rice Cem to the Masonic Cem.

A notable highlight is Hulston Mill, situated near the river's edge, representing the area's agricultural processing history. Small country churches, such as New Hope Ch and Fairview Ch, are scattered across the hills and valleys of Bunker Hill and along the numerous branches like Cave Spring Branch and Burney Branch. The map preserves the original drainage patterns and farm-to-market road structures before later decades of development and dam projects altered the Missouri River Basin's tributaries.
