About this map

Lone Elm and the surrounding township lands of Clark Fork and North Moniteau are documented here during the early 1950s, with later updates from the 1980s. This agricultural landscape in Cooper County is defined by its rural institutions, many of which are linked to family and community heritage. The map captures a high density of rural burial grounds and houses of worship, including Walnut Grove Ch, New Salem Cem, and Trinity Ch.

A notable detail for local historians is the Jefferson Sch (Abandoned), signifying the consolidation or shift of rural education in this era. The drainage patterns of Clark Fork and Pisgah Creek dictate the local topography, while the settlement at Pisgah serves as a southern anchor for the quadrangle. Utility infrastructure of the mid-century is represented by a Pump Station located near the eastern edge of the survey.
