About this map

Mountain Grove serves as the focal point for this Missouri survey, which illustrates a landscape defined by the intersection of small-scale agriculture and early scientific research. The town's periphery is marked by the State Experiment Station, highlighting the region's historical commitment to agricultural development. The terrain is divided by the Dove Mountains and a network of waterways including Whetstone Creek and Beaver Creek.

Social and communal life of the mid-20th century is evident through the high density of rural institutions. Schools such as North Campbell Sch and Morning Sun Sch are scattered across the township, often paired with local congregations like Fairview Ch and Stony Point Ch. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of family and community burial grounds, including the Swede Cem and Absher Cem. The southern edge of the map features the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, a vital transportation artery that facilitated the growth of this Ozark community.
