About this map

The county seat of Paris anchors the northeastern corner of this terrain, where the Middle Fork Salt River and Elk Fork Salt River converge. This Missouri landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Bee Creek, Turkey Creek, and Briar Creek, interspersed with a network of rural life that includes the Sanford Sch and several country houses of worship such as Mt Zion Ch and Union Bridge Ch.

Transportation and recreation patterns of the mid-20th century are evident, from the Norfolk and Western rail line to a Drive-in Theater situated along the main road. The map offers significant genealogical value through its documentation of family-named cemeteries, including McKinney Cem, Deaver Cem, and Cutright Cem, which dot the ridges between the river forks. Local industry is represented by a Quarry and a Gaging Station monitoring the river levels.
