1985 Map of Dillon

About this map

Rolla expansion and the corridor toward St James define this mid-1980s landscape, where the Burlington Northern railroad and interstate highway cut across the Ozark Plateau. The map captures a high density of rural religious and commemorative sites, including New Life Ch, Bible Faith Assembly, and Bellview Ch, alongside numerous family burial grounds like Wilson Cem and Hawkins Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by the Dry Fork and Little Dry Fork, creating a complex network of ridges like Schumann Ridge that hem in local aviation landmarks such as the Morgan Landing Strip. Recreation and modern infrastructure are visible through the Oak Meadow Country Club and the Little Prairie Community Lake, illustrating the transition from traditional farming and quarrying toward suburban development near the Missouri S&T campus area.
