About this map

Tina serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated where the Chicago And Quincy And Burlington railroad once cut through the prairie. The surrounding rural countryside is notably dense with localized educational and community landmarks, featuring an array of small institutions such as Oakland Sch, Grace Sch, and North Star Sch. These school sites, along with Macklin Cem and Rock Branch Cem, offer vital touchstones for genealogists tracing family roots in Fairview and Grand River townships.

The topography is defined by the prominent elevation of Stokes Mound and the winding paths of Bridge Creek, Mound Creek, and Hurricane Creek. The drainage patterns, including Big Creek and Willow Branch, illustrate the agricultural reliance on the local watershed. This 1950s record, updated with late-1970s aerial data, provides a clear view of the area's development before modern consolidation changed the rural schoolhouse network.
