About this map

Lentner sits as the primary rail-connected settlement in this mid-century Missouri landscape, positioned along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The map captures the agricultural and social centers of Shelby and Monroe counties just before the 1960s, documenting rural institutions such as the Oak Ridge Ch, Oak Ridge Sch, and Fairview Sch that served the surrounding farmsteads.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Crooked Creek, Otter Creek, and Briggs Branch, which create a complex pattern of timbered draws and open uplands. The small community of Maud is located further south, situated near the boundary where Jefferson and Woodlawn townships meet. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the era, from the prominent Radio Tower to the named branches like Plum Branch that fed into the region's larger creek systems.
