About this map

McDaniel Lake dominates the central landscape of this Greene County survey, formed by the impoundment of the Little Sac River. The 1940s terrain reflects a well-established rural infrastructure of small schools and congregations that defined the social life of Robberson, Franklin, and North Campbell townships. Key institutions such as the Central Bible Institute, the District Fairgrounds, and the Springfield Water Works signal the area's vital role in supporting the nearby regional hub.

Local history researchers can find numerous small educational landmarks, including Flint Hill Sch and Schuyler Sch, while genealogists can pinpoint the Brick Church Cem and Greenlawn Cemetery. The map also captures specialized sites like the Crystal Cave and the settlement of Ebenezer, situated along Ebenezer Branch, providing a precise record of this Missouri landscape before later 20th-century development altered the small-scale farming and community patterns.
