About this map

The county seat of Savannah serves as the central hub of this 1971 Andrew County survey, showing a landscape defined by the winding River One Hundred and Two and the infrastructure of the Chicago and North Western Railroad. Local geography is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Kellogg Cem, Coffman Cem, and Greenwick Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. The town itself is detailed with the local High Sch, a Park, and the City Reservoir.

Beyond the primary settlement, the surrounding townships of Benton, Nodaway, and Jefferson reveal a rural economy transitioning through the early 1970s. The map identifies several Quarries near Dillon Creek and the southeastern corner, while the small settlement of Kodiak sits near the eastern boundary. The presence of the Cumberland Ridge Ch and multiple cemeteries across the countryside reflects the deep-rooted community structure of this Missouri river valley region.
