USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
University of Missouri dominates the southern part of the city in this late-1940s survey, surrounded by the collegiate grounds of Stephens College and Christian College. The urban core is detailed with institutional landmarks like the Armory, County Hospital, and State Hospital, while the Wabash RR cuts through the northern reaches near Moores Lake. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a mix of agricultural land and scattered industrial sites, including a Quarry and various inactive mines near Zaring Sch.
