1953 Map of Huntsville

The local topography is defined by the Chariton River and its various tributaries such as Sinking Creek and Sugar Creek. To the west, Randolph Springs stands near the East Fork of the Salt River, while numerous rural houses of worship like Mt Salem Ch Providence Ch and Union Ch indicate the social centers of the surrounding Silver Creek and Prairie districts. This record preserves the location of many family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Trinity Cem and Hager Cem, before further modern development changed the landscape.
