1933 Map of Iberia

About this map

The Osage River cuts across the northwest corner of this Miller County landscape, passing the Cedar Bluffs and the county seat of Tuscumbia. Surveyed in the early 1930s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Turn Back Ridge and Shoestring Hollow, which dictated the settlement patterns of the era. Uplands are dotted with numerous small rural schools like Stumpf Sch and Tygal Sch, reflecting a time when educational hubs were localized within walking distance of farmsteads.
