About this map

Mc Minnville serves as the focal point of this mid-century Warren County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Barren Fork and Hickory Creek. The town's grid expands around the St Louis and San Francisco RR and Main St, showing a thriving hub complete with a golf course, fair grounds, and several local schools like Biles Sch and Bernard Sch. Beyond the town limits, the terrain transitions into a more rural pattern of small settlements and family landmarks.

Industrial and agricultural life is evident in the presence of Lawson Mill and various sand pits and quarries, while the southwestern corner is dominated by the steep ascent of Ben Lomond Mountain. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Bethlehem Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Riverside Cem, which help anchor the locations of historic communities like Smartt, Daylight, and Faulkner Springs.
