1886 Map of Carthage
USGS Topo · Published 1886About this map
Carthage sits at the heart of this late-nineteenth-century landscape, serving as a primary hub where the Spring River meets a growing network of industrial rail lines. The convergence of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the St Louis and San Francisco Railroad at this central point highlights the region's rapid development as a transportation and mining corridor. To the west, the emerging centers of Webb City and Carterville indicate the expanding mining interests of Jasper County, while Sarcoxie anchors the southeastern corner near Jones Creek.
