1957 Map of Schuyler

About this map

Schuyler stands as the primary community in this portion of Benton County, situated amid a landscape defined by the branching arms of the Lake of the Ozarks. Surveyed in the mid-1930s, the map reveals a rural society organized around a high density of local schools, including McFarland School, Poplar School, and Dillon School, reflecting the educational infrastructure of the early twentieth century. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways such as Cole Camp Creek and Duran Creek, which flow through hollows like Sweetman Hollow. Local family and community landmarks are frequent, including the Pleasant Hill Church and the Bird Cem. Transport in the region is anchored by the Missouri Pacific No 65 Highway, providing a corridor through the undulating hills north of the Little Creek Arm Lake of the Ozarks.
