About this map

The railroad junction at Monett serves as the central hub of this 1943 survey, where the St Louis San Francisco lines diverge amidst a landscape of small schools and rural churches. The map captures the borderlands of Lawrence and Barry counties during a period of transition, showing a dense network of local education and faith centers such as Waldensian Ch, Bible Hill Tabernacle, and King Prairie Sch.

Waterways like the Spring River and Flat Creek define the agricultural valleys, with Red Mill and the Pumping Station indicating the local infrastructure of the era. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds, including Spring River Cem and Henderson Cem, while those interested in local geography can trace the paths of Little Flat Creek and the notable elevations of Pleasant Ridge.
