1950 Map of Columbia

About this map

Columbia serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, dominated by the campus footprints of the University of Missouri and Stephens College. The city's northern edge is defined by the Municipal Airport and State Hospital, while the surrounding Boone County landscape is a dense network of rural schoolhouses and country churches. The southern and western reaches of the quadrangle follow the winding path of the Missouri River, where the Missouri-Pacific RR tracks trace the shoreline near river towns like McBaine and Lupus.
