USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Thompson River winds through the hills of the Iowa-Missouri borderlands, anchoring a landscape of rural schoolhouses and small-town parishes in the mid-1940s. Centered around the border of Decatur and Harrison counties, the map reveals a high density of community centers including Green Valley Ch, Otterbein Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch. This era represents the peak of the rural school system, with institutions like Lone Star Sch, Coates Sch, and Hagan Sch spaced within walking distance for local farm families.
