1950 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Durham serves as a central point of activity along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, reflecting the agricultural and transit patterns of Northeast Missouri at mid-century. This 1950 edition captures a landscape defined by the winding paths of the Middle Fabius River and South Fabius River, with the Lewis Co Marion Co line bisecting the northern territory. Local life is anchored by small rural centers such as Emerson, Hester, and Naomi, alongside the Mount Sinai Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of family-named landmarks like Wagner Cem, McPike Cem, and Banks Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships of Highland, Round Grove, and Union. The intricate network of creeks, including Troublesome Creek and Grassy Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of early settlements and roads in this river-bottom region.
