1935 Map of Rocky Mount

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Morgan and Miller County borderlands are defined by the winding tributaries of the Moreau Creek and the recently formed shoreline of the Lake of the Ozarks. This 1935 survey captures the rural landscape as the northern reaches of the reservoir began to transform the local topography, creating indentations like Bogue Bay. While the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad serves the northern corridor through Barnett Sta, the southern hills remain a network of hollows and ridges populated by numerous one-room schoolhouses and family-named landmarks. Features like the Stover Coal Bank indicate localized mining activity, while schools such as Laurel Ridge School and Rock Island School speak to the dispersed settlement patterns of the era. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of several small burial grounds, including the Ailey Lamb Cem and Taylor Cem.
