1943 Map of Manes

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Gasconade River winds through this terrain on the border of Laclede and Wright counties, defining a landscape of hollows and ridges during the early 1940s. The settlement of Manes serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of country schools and churches that speak to the rural social structure of the era. Educational landmarks like Victory Sch and Cheerful Hill Sch are scattered throughout the hills, while spiritual centers such as Evening Shade Ch and Claxton Ch anchor the various communities. Along the river and its tributaries, evidence of local industry appears at Grimes Mill and Latham Mill, illustrating the importance of water power for the area's residents. Much of the eastern portion of the sheet is comprised of the Mark Twain National Forest, showing the division between agricultural clearings and managed timberland during this period of Missouri's history.
