1926 Map of Edgehill

About this map

Maxwells Mill and the scattered mountain settlements of the St. Francois region characterize this mid-1920s survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Black River and its intricate tributaries like Ottery Creek and Shut-in Creek, which carve through prominent peaks including Tom Sauk Mountain and Bell Mountain. This era shows a high density of rural infrastructure, with numerous family and community landmarks such as Cedar Grove School, Mountainville School, and Beulah Land Church serving the residents of Kaolin and Belgrade.
