1959 Map of Womack

About this map

Womack serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated within the expansive Clark National Forest. The map reveals a community defined by its local institutions and rugged creek valleys, where the Silver Point Ch and McDowell Cem mark the social and ancestral centers of rural life. The terrain is deeply carved by the headwaters of several significant drainage systems, including the Whitewater River and the Castor River, which define the township boundaries for Liberty and Saline. Higher elevations are punctuated by fire towers and navigation aids, notably the Whitewater Lookout Tower and a Radio Range Station. In the southern portion, the map captures the transition into the Mine La Motte district and St Marys township, showing the dense network of ridges like Anderson Hollow that shaped the region's early transportation and settlement patterns.
