About this map

Lone Elm and Pisgah anchor this 1950s study of central Missouri, where the landscape transitions from the open stretches of Prairie Home to the dissected drainages of Clark Fork and Panther Creek. The map provides a detailed view of rural life before the consolidation of mid-century school districts, notably marking the Jefferson Sch (Abandoned) south of the Clark Fork township boundary.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial sites, including McCullough Cem, Toler Cem, and New Salem Cem. Local religious life is centered around rural congregations such as Trinity Ch, Pleasant Hill Ch, and Walnut Grove Ch. While the area is primarily agricultural, industrial development is evident at the Oil Tank Pumping Station located in the southeastern corner near Pisgah Cr.
