1964 Map of Corning

About this map

Corning sits at the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a hub where the Missouri Pacific railroad meets the meandering Black River. The survey captures the complex drainage systems of Clay County, defined by a network of engineered waterways like Byrnes Ditch and Townsend Ditch that weave through agricultural sections named Brown, Thomas, and Cleveland. Local history is preserved in the numerous country churches and burial grounds scattered throughout the rural sections, including Pleasant Grove Ch and Allmandinger Cem.
