About this map

Mussel Fork meanders through this portion of north-central Missouri, marking a landscape defined by small-scale farming and rural education at the start of the 1950s. The region is densely populated with community landmarks, particularly country schools like Nagel Sch and People Sch that served the dispersed agricultural families of Macon Co and Linn Co. The settlement of New Boston and the village of Goldsberry serve as local hubs, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the southeastern corner near Ethel Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate social geography of the era, where family and faith were anchored by sites such as Union Chapel, North Swede Ch, and White Cem, most of which were accessible only by the network of unimproved roads that crisscross the drainage of Little Brush Creek.
