This plat map, from an atlas that was probably published between 1920 and 1928, shows land ownership in Township 49 North Range 26 West in Lafayette County, Missouri. This survey township includes portions of both Washington and Davis Townships; the border between these two civil townships is the heavy, "hairy," vertical line in the middle of the map. U.S. Route 40 can be seen running east-west through sections 31 to 36 at the bottom of the map. The city of Higginsville is bisected by the right margin of the map; the town of Mayview straddles the left margin.
