1963 Map of Dillon

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The St Louis San Francisco railroad corridor anchors this mid-century landscape in Phelps County, cutting a path through the rolling terrain between Rolla and St James. The map reveals a transition from the developing edges of Rolla, where institutions like the Jr High Sch and the Usgs Center are established, to the rural townships of Dillon and Cold Spring. A network of watercourses, including Dry Fork and Little Dry Fork, carves through the southern half of the quadrangle, with Schuman Ridge rising to the southeast. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history markers, from the Smith-Laney Cem and Hawkins Cem to the isolated Wichon Cem and Brown Cem. Small rural congregations at Bellview Ch and Peace Ch further define the social geography of the era, while specialized features like the Morgan Landing Strip and various clay pits speak to local transport and industrial activity.
