1953 Map of Beaman

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Muddy Creek and its many tributaries, including Smelser Creek and Turkey Creek, carve a winding path through this central Missouri landscape. The 1953 topography, updated with revisions in the late 1970s, reveals a rural community anchored by small crossroads and a network of country schools and churches. The Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line cuts through the southeastern corner near Beaman, while the historic settlement of Georgetown sits to the west. Scattered throughout the landscape are numerous family and community landmarks, such as High Hill Cem and Olive Branch Ch, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads. The presence of a Quarry and regional pipelines hints at the local industrial and utility infrastructure that supported these townships during the mid-20th century.
