1951 Map of Carrollton East

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Carrollton serves as the focal point of this mid-century Missouri survey, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Wabash railroads intersect north of the wide Missouri River bottomlands. The town's grid is anchored by the Courthouse, Post Office, and High School, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with a high density of one-room schoolhouses like Dietrich Sch, Mayview Sch, and Cary Sch. South of the bluffs, the landscape transitions to the alluvial plain of Wakenda Creek, leading toward the massive river bends surrounding Whites Island and Middleton. The map captures the tri-county border where Carroll, Lafayette, and Saline counties meet within the river's shifting channels. This era of the river basin's development is evident in the complex system of levees protecting agricultural tracts like Grand Pass and Eugene from the seasonal fluctuations of the river.
