About this map

Seaton and the surrounding rural landscape of the Ozarks are captured here in the early 1960s, a period where traditional land use meets the remnants of older industrial infrastructure. The map reveals a high density of local landmarks significant to genealogists, including Asher Cem, Bell Cem, Morrison Cem, and Freeman Cem. These sites, along with Highland Ch and Hale Sch, point to the dispersed community hubs that defined the area's social geography.

Industry and transport legacies are visible through the Mine near Clinton and the presence of the St Louis - San Francisco railroad in the south. Notably, an Old Railroad Grade north of Winkler reflects the changing nature of regional transit as older timber or mining lines were repurposed or left to the landscape. The hydrology of the region is well-defined by Dry Fork and the numerous branches feeding into Norman Creek.
