About this map

Miller stands as the primary trade center in this Lawrence County landscape, shown here in the early 1970s. The town's layout is clearly defined, featuring the local High Sch and a Sewage Disposal Pond on its western edge. Small rural communities like Albatross, Heatonville, and Stinson are connected by a network of local roads and sections of Pipeline infrastructure.

The presence of an Old Railroad Grade cutting north-to-south through the center of the map indicates a shifting transportation economy, where rail once moved goods across Stahl Creek and Truitt Creek. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites and rural congregations, including Highland Chapel, Ozark Prairie Ch, and numerous family or church-affiliated graveyards such as Webb Cem, Davis Cem, and Henson Cem.
