1950 Map of Camden

About this map

The Missouri River corridor in the mid-century is defined by its industrial activity and complex transportation network, with three major rail lines—the Wabash, Missouri Pacific, and Chicago Burlington and Quincy—traversing the river valley. The landscape around Camden and Fleming is shaped by mining, evidenced by an inactive mine and several mine dumps. Extensive levee systems protect the flat bottomlands and numerous oxbow features like Big Lake and Ralph Lake from the shifting river currents.
