About this map

The rolling agricultural divide between the Monroe Co Audrain Co line defines this 1958 survey, showing a landscape of scattered rural settlements and small upland waterways. At the heart of the region sits Tulip, with the small community of Saling located to the south. The area is heavily defined by its educational and spiritual infrastructure, featuring several country schools such as Pine Sch, Friendship Sch, and Burnham Sch, along with the Appleman Ch.

Drainage across the quadrangle is intricate, carved by the Long Branch, Reese Fork, and Goodwater Creek. The western edge of the map shows a segment of the G M & O RR corridor, reflecting the mid-century rail infrastructure that connected these Missouri farming communities. The presence of Larrabee Lake in the southwest corner suggests the early development of local water management and recreation during this era.
