About this map

Morrill and Ramey anchor this rural landscape in the late 1960s, situated along the border of Morrison and Benton Counties. The settlement pattern is defined by a traditional township grid, where small agricultural hubs like Brennyville and North Benton serve the surrounding farmsteads. The importance of local education and community faith is evident in the survival of numbered schoolhouses such as School No 1192 and School No 1213, alongside Bethany Ch.

The winding course of the Elk River cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle near Jakeville, contrasting with the more orderly land divisions above it. For those studying local genealogy, the map provides precise locations for Fairview Cem and Lone Pine Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a prominent Radio Tower suggests the subtle integration of mid-century infrastructure into this predominantly agrarian environment.
