1945 Map of Mokane

About this map

The confluence of the Missouri River and Osage River dominates this mid-century landscape, a region defined by river navigation and rail transport. The Missouri Pacific line skirts the northern bank, connecting river towns like Mokane and Tebbetts, while the village of Chamois sits on the southern shore in Osage County. This area shows a dense network of rural infrastructure, with numerous one-room schoolhouses such as Holman Sch and Acorn Sch serving the farming communities tucked into the valleys of Auxvasse Creek and Middle River.
