1951 Map of Camden Point

About this map

The Platte River and its meandering tributary, the Little Platte River, define the landscape of northern Platte County in this mid-century survey. The terrain is marked by a high density of rural social infrastructure, including family-named burial grounds like Standiford Cem, Lutes Cem, and McComas Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The river crossings are central to the local geography, featuring the notable Covered Bridge and Skinner Bridge. Small rural hubs such as Edgerton and Camden Point are connected by a network of one-room schoolhouses like Franklin Sch and Horn Sch. This map captures the area just before modern highway expansions altered the traditional boundaries of Green, Preston, and Fair townships, preserving the locations of vanished landmarks like Sharps Station and Kerrville.
