1965 Map of Edina SE

About this map

The South Fabius River and its intricate drainage network, including Troublesome Creek and Cottey Creek, define the rural landscape of southeastern Knox County. In the mid-1960s, this area remained characterized by widely dispersed farmsteads and agricultural operations, linked by a system of light-duty and unimproved roads. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like the Bee Ridge Ch and the Coe Cem, while the industrial presence is marked by a Quarry near the riverbanks. The township names of Bee Ridge, Jeddo, Bourbon, and Fabius reflect the traditional land divisions of the era. This survey is particularly notable for including fine red dashed lines that indicate property boundaries, such as fence and field lines, providing a detailed record of land use and ownership patterns before the modernization of Missouri's rural infrastructure.
