About this map

Olean serves as the primary hub of this rural Missouri landscape, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad line intersects with the local road network. The map reveals a community defined by its watercourses and small-scale industry, with South Moreau Creek and Burris Fork cutting through the terrain. Evidence of the area's geological economy is found at the Tiff Mine and a local Quarry, while a Fish Hatchery near the Harrison township line points to a diverse use of the land.

Local history is deeply preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, such as Walker Cem, Hite Cem, and Allen Cem. The settlement at High Point stands out in the northern section, anchored by the High Point Cem. Religious life is marked by the Rock Enon Church and Green Ridge Church, which likely served as focal points for the scattered farmstead population during the mid-twentieth century.
