1942 Map of New Florence

The map reveals a dense network of rural civic life, documented through an exceptional number of small school districts including Orange Blossom Sch, Laclede Sch, and the uniquely named Crabapple Sch. To the south, the landscape becomes increasingly complex as it drops toward the river, featuring landmarks like The Pinnacle and Big Rock. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of rural institutions like Big Ebenezer Sch and the Wright Cem, situated amidst the draws and hollows of Bear Creek and Massas Creek.
