1924 Map of Polo

About this map

Kingston serves as a primary hub within this rural Missouri landscape, situated near the winding course of Shoal Creek and its many tributaries like Log Creek. The early 1920s survey reveals a dense network of civic and educational life, with nearly every township section supporting a local schoolhouse, such as Yankee Ridge School and Mound School. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul railroad, which passes through Polo and Elmira. Cultural and religious landmarks are well-represented, including the Far West Church and Kendall Church. The terrain is characterized by dissected uplands and river valleys, with notable crossings like the Stoner Bridge providing essential connectivity between small settlements like Mirabile and the surrounding farmsteads of Caldwell and Ray counties.
