About this map

The settlement of Hatton and the crossroads of Youngers anchor this late-1960s landscape at the junction of Callaway, Boone, and Audrain counties. The map reflects a rural community structured around local institutions, including Hickory Grove Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch, alongside the Westminster Cem and Youngers Cem. A distinct transition in land use is visible between the agricultural fields and the industrial extraction sites in the southwest, where Strip Mines indicate the region's active coal or clay mining history.

A network of small waterways, such as Beaverdam Creek, Fourmile Branch, and Lick Branch, drains the undulating terrain toward the larger Auxvasse Creek. Infrastructure of the era is represented by a prominent pipeline and a pumping station, while the inclusion of verified fence and field lines provides an exceptionally fine-grained look at property boundaries and land management during this period of Missouri's history.
