1948 Map of Oak Hill

About this map

The Bourbeuse River snakes through the northern reaches of this Crawford County landscape, defining a terrain of sharp ridges and deep hollows. Centered around the settlement of Oak Hill, the area shows a decentralized community structure typical of mid-century Missouri, where life was anchored by local institutions such as Oak Hill Sch and High Point Sch. The map records an extensive network of family and neighborhood burial grounds, including the Finnell Cem, McWilliams Cem, and Vaunt Pop Cem, providing a dense record for genealogical research.
