1940 Map of Columbia

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Columbia serves as the focal point of this 1940 preliminary survey, captured just as the city and its institutional anchors were expanding. The dense grid of the central district is dominated by the sprawling campuses of the University of Missouri and Stephens College, with Rollins Field and Memorial Stadium marking the athletic landscape of the era. To the north and west, the State Hospital and the early Columbia Airport reflect the city's role as a regional service hub.
