1939 Map of Booneville

About this map

Booneville serves as the central hub of this Logan County landscape, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks bisect the valley. The map reveals a robust network of rural institutions, from the State Sanatorium south of town to numerous country churches like Mt Olive Ch and Wesley Chapel. Settlement patterns follow the fertile corridors between high ridges, with small communities such as Magazine, Chismville, and Driggs connected by early roads including U.S. Route No. 71.
