1956 Map of Cambridge

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Missouri River and its tributary, the Chariton River, define this landscape at the intersection of Chariton and Saline Counties. The map documents a complex hydrological environment where the Old Channel Chariton River winds through the bottomlands alongside artificial interventions like the Levee, Hayes Cutoff, and Big Cutoff. These engineering efforts highlight the era's focus on managing floodplains for agriculture, leaving behind oxbows like Smith Lake and Whiteside Lake.
