1951 Map of Camden

South of the city, the dual communities of Cullendale and Fairview demonstrate the expansion of local industry and residential life along the St Louis Southwestern and Missouri Pacific railroad lines. Rural life is evidenced by the presence of smaller settlements like Herbert and several outlying houses of worship, such as Deans Chapel and Timothy Ch. The river's historical importance as a crossing point is reflected in the Bradley Ferry (Aband), even as modern infrastructure like the Municipal Airport began to reshape the local economy.
