1962 Map of Faith

About this map

Faith and the surrounding timberlands of the Jefferson and Cleveland County line are captured here as they appeared in the early 1960s, with updates reflecting changes into the 1980s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Creek and Hudgin Creek, which carve through a region dotted with small rural communities and family-named cemeteries. Small-scale industrial activity is evident in the numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the terrain, while the St. Louis Southwestern railroad provides a critical transportation corridor through the western portion of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Blackwell Cemetery, Mt Zion Church, and Rose Lawn Memorial Garden. This record preserves the location of rural landmarks like the Lookout Tower near Randall and the Radio Tower near the community of Mt Zion.
