About this map

Guthrie and the surrounding wooded terrain of Callaway County appear at the turn of the millennium, defined by a landscape where agriculture meets industrial extraction. Much of the central and eastern portion of the map is occupied by the Mark Twain National Forest, though significant private holdings remain throughout the timberlands. The economic history of the area is etched into the earth through numerous strip mines, a Quarry, and a Clay Pit, showing the heavy footprint of mineral and resource removal in the hills surrounding Middle River.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including numerous country churches and associated cemeteries such as Millers Creek Ch and Dry Fork Ch. The map preserves the location of rural education sites like Carrington Sch and Middle River Sch, providing a precise look at the civic layout of the area before modern consolidation. To the north, Reeds Lake and the Round Prairie provide distinctive geographical reference points amidst the rolling hills and creek branches.
