1940 Map of Filley

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The community of Filley anchors the southern portion of this Cedar County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of country schools and churches that served rural Missouri families just before the mid-century. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Alder Creek and Cedar Creek, with landmarks like Smith Bluff and Bland Hollow providing topographic context. For genealogists, the map is an exceptional resource, recording numerous family-named burial grounds and gathering places, from the Vandenburg Cem in the north to the Wright Cem near Pacetown. Small settlements such as Willowville and educational hubs like Cherry Valley Sch and Forest Grove Sch illustrate the decentralized nature of local life during this era, while early crossings like the Ivy Bridge highlight the essential transport links across the region's waterways.
