1980 Map of Knob Lick

About this map

Knob Lick and Libertyville anchor this topographic study of the Missouri Ozark foothills as they appeared in the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by its diverse terrain, ranging from the flat lands of Prairie Hollow to prominent peaks like Crow Hill, Bain Hill, and Lewis Hill. Significant local landmarks include the S-F Scout Ranch situated along the shores of Nims Lake, and the historic boundary of Mine La Motte at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Genealogists can locate several rural burial grounds and places of worship, including Harris Cemetery, Sebastian Cemetery, and Wesley Chapel. The map reveals a network of old transport routes such as Old Railroad Grade and Old Fredericktown Road, illustrating the movement of people and resources between these small farming and mining communities.
