1949 Map of Oak Hill

About this map

The Bourbeuse River and Big River define the northern drainage of this Ozark upland, where family-named landmarks and rural institutions reflect a deeply rooted agricultural society in the late 1940s. The settlement of Oak Hill sits at a crossroads, supported by a network of one-room schools like Oak Hill Sch and High Point Sch that served dispersed homesteads. The landscape is notably dotted with small family burial grounds, including Morris Cem, Schannon Cem, and Pinnell Cem, providing critical geographic data for genealogists tracing early Crawford County residents. Transportation throughout the area relies on paths like Jake Road, which wind through the drainage basins of Brush Creek and Prairie Creek. The concentration of named cemeteries and schoolhouses across this quadrangle offers a clear view of the social fabric before mid-century school consolidations changed the rural educational landscape.
