1972 Map of Auxvasse
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Auxvasse serves as the primary hub of this north-central Callaway County landscape in the early 1970s, situated where the Gulf Central Illinois railroad cuts through the prairie. The map documents a transition from the level agricultural uplands of Jackson and Liberty townships to the deeply incised drainage networks of the Salt River. To the west, the small settlement of Concord remains a notable landmark, while the northern reaches of the sheet near Ortiz show the rolling terrain surrounding the Scattering Fork. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several landmarks, including the Grand Prairie Cem and Auxvasse Cem, alongside rural houses of worship such as Bethel Ch. The intricate path of Beaverdam Creek and its various tributaries like Bynum Creek and Smith Branch illustrates the complex water system that has historically shaped the county's boundaries and farm placements.
