If you grew up in Holt, or your family still lives off Main Street, this map shows the town you know. It's a modern aerial view of Holt in Clay County, Missouri, built from public elevation, street and building data, with a vintage style. The town sits in the middle left of the sheet. Small red buildings crowd along Cleveland Street and the short side streets around it. Green hills and creek valleys fill the rest. A wide divided highway runs down the right side, and Haynesville sits in the top right corner.

The 1885 history of Clay and Platte counties says Holt was laid out in the fall of 1867. It was named for Uncle Jerry Holt, who owned the land. The town still carries his name today.
The church that came from Haynesville
The same history tells how one church came to Holt. The history names it Church South. It was started in 1837 at a place called Pleasant Grove. That's thirty years before Holt was laid out. Later it moved to Haynesville, and from there it moved to Holt. You can find Haynesville on the map, up in the top right corner. It sits across the wide highway from town, near State Highway Pp.
