About this map

Preston serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated where the terrain transitions across the Hickory and Dallas County line. The settlement pattern follows the local topography, with rural life anchored by the Skyline High Sch and several community institutions. The map reveals a network of waterways including Starks Creek and Mill Creek, which carve through the townships of Cross Timbers, Stark, Jordan, and Lincoln.

Evidence of local history and genealogy is found in the placement of the Fisher Cem and Olive Point Ch. Infrastructure of the early 1960s is represented by a Radio Tower and a Gaging Station, alongside the primary corridor of Highway 54. This survey preserves the distribution of small rural schools like Morgan Sch and family-named water features like Pippin Branch, reflecting the mid-century agricultural character of the Ozarks region.
