About this map

Strasburg serves as a primary settlement along the southern edge of this mid-century survey, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks cross the landscape near Crawford Creek. To the north, the village of Lonejack marks a focal point for the surrounding rural area, characterized by its local Lonejack Cem and the nearby Soldiers Cem. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of the West Branch and East Branch which feed into Big Creek.

Family history researchers can find specific landmarks such as the Sloan Cem and the Pleasant Grove Sch, reflecting the community infrastructure of the mid-1950s. The presence of Baldwin Lake and Van Lake near the western boundary, along with the Community Hall in the northern hills, illustrates a rural society organized around small civic hubs and the seasonal flows of local waterways like Duncan Branch.
