1942 Map of Aurora
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Aurora and Marionville anchor this early 1940s landscape, a region defined by the convergence of major rail lines and the intricate drainage of the Spring River and Crane Creek. The Missouri Pacific RR and St. Louis - San Francisco RR cut through the terrain, serving a network of small upland settlements like Talmage, Elsey, and Jenkins. The landscape transitions from the open stretches of Buck Prairie in the north to the deeply incised hollows and ridges of the southern hills, where numerous springs and caves, such as Upshaw Spr and Pigeon Roost Cave, suggest the complex karst geography of the area.
