1962 Map of Concordia

About this map

St Pauls College and the town of Concordia serve as the focal point of this early 1960s survey, showing the community just as the modern highway system was being etched into the landscape. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the northern townships, paralleling the older routes that once dictated the local economy. Southward, the terrain transitions into the fertile bottomlands of the Blackwater River, a meandering waterway defined by features like Horseshoe Lake and the Gaging Station.
