About this map

Clarence Cannon Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this Ralls County landscape, reflecting the hydraulic engineering of the early 1970s. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including the South Fork, Spencer Creek, and Straight Branch, which carve through the townships of Center and Jasper. This era of development is marked by industrial and utility infrastructure, such as a prominent Pipeline, a Pumping Station, and a Radio Tower near the small settlement of Noonan.

For those researching family history or local land use, the map identifies several spiritual and communal landmarks. Madisonville Cem and Union Chapel Cem are clearly located, alongside Fern Chapel and Spencer Creek Ch. The presence of a private Landing Strip and multiple quarries suggests a mix of private aviation and resource extraction characteristic of the Missouri interior during this period.
