1962 Map of High Gate

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The agrarian and industrial landscape of eastern Maries County is centered on the settlement of High Gate, where a Kiln and nearby Claypit operations indicate the region’s economic reliance on mineral extraction. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Grovedale Cem, Pinnell Cem, and Moreland Cem. Waterways like Dry Fork and Peavine Creek dictate the local topography, carving through the townships of Jefferson and Bourbois. In the western portion of the sheet, Lanes Prairie serves as another focal point of settlement, anchored by Skaggs Chapel. The presence of numerous smaller cemeteries, including Walker Cem and Cook Cem, alongside schools and churches like Bowles Chapel, provides a detailed record for genealogists tracking family lands and early Missouri settlements during this era.
