1969 Map of Ashland

About this map

Rock Bridge Memorial State Park anchors the northern reaches of this Boone County landscape, protecting natural landmarks like the Devils Icebox and Conners Cave. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Bonne Femme Creek and Turkey Creek, which carve deep drainages through the central terrain. Near the community of Pierpont, the University of Missouri Environmental Health Research Facilities occupy a significant tract of land, while smaller crossroads like Sapp and Elkhurst dot the rural horizon. To the south, the town of Ashland serves as a primary hub, complete with its High Sch and municipal Sewage Disposal Pond infrastructure. For those researching local history, the map preserves the locations of numerous country churches and burial grounds, including the Log Providence Ch, New Salem Ch, and family landmarks such as Samuel Cem and Harris Cem.
