1923 Map of Maysville

About this map

The county seat of Maysville serves as the central hub of this 1923 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its rural school districts and independent farming communities. The geography is structured by the southward flow of the East Fork and West Fork toward the Grand River, with numerous named schoolhouses like Roberts School, Hedge School, and Lone Oak School marking nearly every section. These small educational outposts, along with country churches like Mt Pleasant Church and Bethel Church, illustrate the dense social fabric of DeKalb County before the consolidation of rural districts.
