About this map

Raymondville and the smaller settlement of Yukon anchor this mid-century survey of the Texas County interior. The landscape is defined by the transition from the upland plateaus of Jackson township into the intricate drainage systems of Ozark township to the south. Life in these Missouri hills revolved around community hubs like Friendship Sch, High Point Sch, and Yukon Sch, alongside family landmarks such as the Allen Cem.

Water sources were essential to local development, evidenced by the named springs and branches that carve the terrain. The map records a complex network of hollows, including Bradford Cave Hollow and Bee Rock Hollow, which feed into larger arteries like Big Creek and South Ashley Creek. Researchers can trace the rural road network connecting these points, providing a clear view of the settlement pattern and land use before later twentieth-century changes altered the local infrastructure.
