1959 Map of Lakenan

About this map

Lakenan and Kendall sit at the heart of this agricultural landscape in northeast Missouri, where the North Fork Salt River and its many tributaries, such as Thomas Creek and Jackson Creek, carve through the terrain. The presence of numerous rural schoolhouses, including Beatley Sch, Givan Sch, Hightower Sch, and Greenwell Sch, reflects a mid-century community structure still centered on local school districts. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a straight line through the center of the sheet, providing a vital transport link for the surrounding townships.
