1984 Map of Bethany

About this map

The city of Bethany serves as the focal point of this Harrison County survey, capturing the community's layout in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Big Creek and the West Fork, which wind through the terrain alongside Little Creek and Long Branch. This area reflects a traditional North Missouri agricultural and residential pattern, with the concentrated street grid of the town transitioning into open land marked by intermittent Cem sites. A notable piece of local infrastructure from this era is the Sewage Disposal Plant located just south of the main settlement. The map provides a clear view of the rural-urban interface before late-twentieth-century expansions altered the local topography.
