1967 Map of Bergman

About this map

Missouri Pacific rail lines cut through the heart of this Boone County landscape, connecting the town of Bergman and the rural community of Myrtle. The map reveals a transition from the developing northern fringes of Harrison to the dissected plateaus of the Ozarks. In the south, the Drive-in Theater and Oak Grove Sch indicate mid-century community expansion, while the interior is dotted with legacy features such as Hopewell Ch and Wesleyan Ch. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems including Bear Creek, Cheatham Creek, and Crooked Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of locations like Wooden Hills. Local history is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as York Cem and Bethany Cem, nestled among the ridges of Lee and Elixir townships.
