1921 Map of Stotts City

About this map

Spring River meanders across the Missouri landscape, carving a valley through the townships of Vineyard and Mount Vernon. This 1921 survey reveals a region defined by agricultural organization and early 20th-century social infrastructure. Concentrated around the county seat of Mt Vernon, landmarks like the State Sanitarium and the County Farm denote the public institutions of the era. The mapping of countless rural schools, such as the Spanish Fort School and Blue Hall School, indicates a densely settled countryside where local education was the cornerstone of community life.
