About this map

Strafford serves as a focal point in this 1970 landscape, where the ST Louis - San Francisco railroad and a modern Weight Station mark the community's importance to the regional transit network. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Pomme de Terre River and the James River, which carve through the townships of Jackson, Grant, and West Dallas.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from rural congregations at Mt Calvary Ch, Epworth Ch, and Fellowship Ch to several family-named burial grounds like Welch Cem and Caldwell Cem. Smaller community hubs such as Caddo and the Locust Prairie Community Center provide evidence of the social geography of Greene and Webster counties. The map also documents local industry through several Quarry sites and the Pipeline corridor crossing the southern sections.
