1949 Map of Tiffin

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Osage River meanders across the northern boundary of this Missouri landscape, framed by prominent terrain like Rock House Bluff. Surveyed in the late 1930s with updates through 1949, the area reflects a deeply established rural network of small school districts and family cemeteries. The small settlements of Tiffin, Lebeck, and Cedar Springs anchor the social geography of the era, while the transition between St. Clair and Cedar counties is marked by a high density of one-room schoolhouses such as Glendale, Arrarat, and Bowling Green. This map captures a moment before the widespread consolidation of rural schools, showing a landscape where public life centered on local institutions like Pape Church and the Union Point School. Drainage patterns are defined by Clear Creek and Simms Creek, while resource extraction is hinted at by Coal Hill to the south.
