1953 Map of Everett

About this map

The South Fork Grand River meanders across the Missouri landscape of Cass County, defining the rural character of the Everett and Austin districts. This mid-century survey reveals a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, many of which were already being phased out, such as the Zion Sch (Abandoned) and Steen Sch (Abandoned). These small institutions, along with the Grand River Ch and various family-named burial grounds like Burford Cem, served as the social anchors for a farming community organized around the river's floodplains and the high ground of the surrounding hills.
