1959 Map of Eldon
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Eldon serves as the primary hub of this Central Missouri landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads once intersected. The town's mid-century character is defined by a mix of civic infrastructure and leisure sites, including the Eldon-Model Airpark, a Drive-in Theater, and nearby Stark Caverns. Moving south, the terrain becomes more complex as it transitions from the flatter uplands into the drainage basins of Saline Creek and Little Gravois Creek. Small rural communities and historic markers such as Aurora Springs, Mt Pleasant, and the Vernon Sch are scattered across the townships of Saline and Franklin. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, from the Salem Cem in the north to the Vaughn Cem near Vaughn Hollow in the south, documenting the area's established family history.
