1945 Map of Fristoe

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Osage River and the meandering Pomme de Terre River define this mid-century Missouri landscape, where the rising waters of the Lake of the Ozarks meet long-established rural settlements. This mid-1940s survey reveals a community anchored by one-room schoolhouses like Evening Shade Sch and Freedom Sch, and remote river crossings such as the Little Mill Creek Ford. The mapping detail captures several upland ridges and hollows, including Gist Ridge and Buzzard Cave Bluff, which speak to the area's complex topography before further modernization. For local historians, the sheet identifies numerous family and community landmarks, from the Seedtick Mine to the Old Baptist Ch and several burial grounds like Cobb Cem and Joplin Cem. The transition from river bottomlands to timbered highlands is documented through the networks of dirt and secondary roads connecting places like Fristoe, Fairfield, and Avery.
