About this map

Pattonsburg serves as a central hub along the Grand River in this postwar Missouri landscape, where the Wabash railroad tracks follow the river's winding course. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Mooney Bridge crossing Big Creek to numerous family-named landmarks and local centers like Salem Coffey P O and Sta and McFall.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of one-room schoolhouses and country churches, including Virginia Ridge Sch, Rice Town Sch, and Union Chapel. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several major tributaries, such as Sampson Creek and Cypress Creek, which carve through the townships of White, Benton, and Marion. Historical burial sites like Foster Cem and Mt Olive Cem are clearly marked, providing precise locations for local history research.
