USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Athens serves as the focal point of this Henderson County landscape, shown here at the transition from the late 1940s into the 1950s. The town is a concentrated hub of commerce and education, featuring the Junior College, High Sch, and the broadcast tower for Radio Sta KBUD. Two major rail lines, the St Louis Southwestern and Southern Pacific, intersect in the town center, underscoring the area's importance as a regional transportation junction. Outside the city limits, the terrain is defined by a dense network of rural communities such as Dauphin, Midway, and Cross Roads.
