1876 Clinton County Atlas

Clinton County's 1918 official plat book is also available on the Missouri Digital Heritage website.  The copy used for this imaging must have been in nearly perfect condition and the image quality is remarkable.  

Over 40 years after the 1876 Atlas was published, this plat book shows detailed improvements to roads including the "Jefferson Highway" and the "Sulpho - Saline" route.  It also shows the location of small communities, schools, churches and family farms that prospered due to the railroads constant expansion and then disappeared almost as quickly when the railroads closed down.
