1959 Map of Eldon

About this map

Eldon serves as the focal point of this Miller County landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Rr corridor shapes the local geography. The map reveals the expansion of the town and nearby Aurora Springs, with mid-century developments like the Eldon Model Airpark and a Drive-in Theater appearing alongside older landmarks. The terrain transitions from the settled northern townships into the more varied topography of Thompson Ridge, where numerous creek branches like Little Gravois Creek and Saline Creek carve through the countryside.
