1951 Map of Minier

Evidence of shifting rural demographics is visible in the identification of the Fairview Sch and Pleasant Hill Sch, reflecting the consolidation of early country school districts. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, identifying numerous family and community burial grounds such as Griesemer Cem, the Mennonite Cem, and Hittle Grove Cem. From the northern reaches near Danvers to the southern grain stops of Emden and Hartsburg, the sheet documents the transition from early pioneer settlement patterns to the modern industrial farm era.
