1953 Map of Clinton North

About this map

Extensive industrial activity is visible just north of Clinton in the mid-1950s, where heavy Strip Mine operations have altered the landscape between Honey Creek and Fields Creek. This Henry County region shows a clear intersection of natural drainage and human industry, with the St Louis San Francisco railroad cutting through small rural clusters like Harvey and Huntingdale. The rural education and burial patterns of the era are well-documented, from the Garland Sch in the west to the Comer Sch near the settlement of Quarles in the east. Genealogical details are abundant, including the Fields Creek Cem and Freeman Cem. In the southeastern corner, the outskirts of Clinton reveal a transitioning town infrastructure featuring a Landing Field, a Radio Tower (KDKD), and proximity to the Missouri Kansas Texas rail line.
