1969 Map of Ashland
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Rock Bridge Memorial State Park defines the northern reaches of this Boone County landscape, protecting remarkable geological features such as the Devil's Icebox and Connor's Cave. The area transition from the karst topography and wooded drainages of Bonne Femme Creek and Gans Cr in the north toward the developing township of Ashland in the southeast. This 1960s survey illustrates a region where academic research and conservation intersect, notably at the University of Missouri Environmental Health Research Facilities. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Samuel Cem and Harris Cem, alongside landmark rural congregations like New Salem Ch and New Liberty Ch. Small settlements such as Pierpont, Sapp, and Elkhurst dot the upland ridges between the deeply incised creek branches.
