1955 Map of Burtville

About this map

Whiteman Air Force Base dominates the eastern plateau of this Missouri landscape, showcasing its extensive runways and facility layout during the mid-1950s. To the west, the terrain transitions into the creek-carved hills of Knob Noster State Park, where recreation sites like Camp Red Cedar and Camp Bobwhite are situated among water bodies such as Lake Buteo and Shawnee Pond. This period captures a shift in rural education, with several one-room schoolhouses labeled as abandoned, including Brushy Sch and Prairie Home Sch. The local economy is represented by a Strip Mine in the southern reaches and agricultural settlements like Burtville and Owsley. Waterways including the Clear Fork and Muddy Creek define the drainage patterns, while family-named landmarks such as Ellis Cem and Pleasant Hill Ch provide essential points of reference for genealogical research in Johnson and Pettis counties.
