About this map

Coulterville serves as the primary hub of this 1960s landscape, situated at the busy intersection of the Missouri Pacific and the I C G railroads. The map captures a transition in the local economy, where the expansive agricultural lands of the Grande Cote Prairie meet industrial markers like a Pit and a prominent Radio Tower. The rural character of the region is defined by the winding paths of Mud Creek and Galum Creek, alongside small settlements such as Swanwick and McKinley.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several landmarks, including Bethel Cem and an unnamed Cemetery north of the main village. The presence of two Landing Strip locations and a dedicated Waterworks facility reflects the mid-century development of municipal infrastructure across Randolph and Washington counties. Purple revisions from 1982 highlight updated fence and field lines, offering a rare layer of detail for researchers studying land use and property boundaries during this period.
