1950 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Durham serves as a focal point in the northeast corner of this mid-century survey, situated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of the Middle Fabius River and the South Fabius River, with Troublesome Creek winding through the central township of Round Grove. This area on the Lewis and Marion County border is characterized by small, dispersed rural settlements and agricultural infrastructure, including the communities of Emerson, Benbow, and Naomi. Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks, such as Wagner Cem, Banks Cem, and the Mount Sinai Ch. The distribution of these churches and cemeteries reflects the early 20th-century settlement patterns of northeast Missouri, where social life was anchored by local congregations and crossroads post offices like Hester.
