1967 Map of Columbia

About this map

The University of Missouri campus and surrounding city of Columbia dominate this mid-century landscape, showing a period of significant suburban and academic expansion. The map details the central business district near the Courthouse and Post Office, alongside established institutions like Stephens College and Columbia College. Transportation patterns are defined by the Norfolk and Western rail line and the intersection of 70 and Highway 63. To the south, the terrain transitions into the karst topography of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park, where Gans Creek and Clear Creek carve through the limestone. This 1974 revision captures the city's growth with purple photogrammetric updates, highlighting new residential developments and facilities like the University Hospital and Memorial Stadium before the further urbanization of the late 20th century.
