1978 Map of Bowling Green

About this map

Bowling Green serves as the central hub for this portion of Pike County, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad corridor cuts northwest through the landscape. The town is flanked by a mix of agricultural utility and local infrastructure, including the Bowling Green Municipal Airport to the north and the Bowling Green Reservoir to the east. To the south, the terrain becomes more dissected by the drainage systems of Cuivre Creek and Sulphur Creek, where smaller settlements like St Clement and Ashley maintain their historic footprints. Genealogical interest is high throughout this quadrangle, with several established burial grounds such as Green Lawn Cem, St Clement Cem, and Fairview Cem serving the rural communities. Industrial and municipal landmarks, from the north-side Quarry and Fish Hatchery near Tarrants to the southern Pipeline, illustrate the diverse land use of this Missouri region in the late 1970s.
