About this map

Linden serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by small communities and rural industry in Cass County. The town center is densely detailed with landmarks like the Rodeo Ground, Lions Park, and various municipal utilities including a Water Tank and Radio Tower. Beyond the town, the terrain is shaped by the headwaters of numerous waterways such as Bowman Creek, Colley Creek, and Frazier Creek, which create a complex system of ridges and valleys. Evidence of local extractive industry is visible in the various Strip Mines and Gravel Pit locations scattered through the woodlands.

Small settlements like New Colony, O'Farrell, and Roach are anchored by spiritual and community centers, including Center Grove Ch and Bethlehem Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of family-named burial sites such as Echols Cem and Barnes Cem. The map also captures the path of a major Pipeline cutting across the northeastern corner, reflecting the modern infrastructure and utility developments beginning to overlay the traditional agricultural and timber landscape.
