About this map

Urbana and Louisburg anchor the eastern corridor of this mid-century survey, situated along the primary north-south route of highway 65. The landscape is defined by the intersection of three counties, where the boundaries of Dallas Co, Hickory Co, and Polk Co meet. The settlement pattern reveals a series of small, rural community centers such as Huckaby and Rimby, many of which were built around local institutions like Star Ridge Sch and several country churches.

Waterways like Ingalls Creek and Cahonehe Creek carve through the terrain, which is subdivided into administrative sections like Green, Lincoln, and Grant. For those tracing local roots, the map provides specific locations for the Cuggington Cem and significant religious landmarks including Bower Chapel, Pleasant Ridge Ch, and Mission Ridge Ch, which were central to social life in these Ozark communities during the postwar era.
