1945 Map of Florida

About this map

Paris serves as the western anchor of this mid-century landscape, where the Middle Fork Salt River and Elk Fork Salt River begin their winding confluence through northeastern Missouri. This 1945 survey documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, recording dozens of one-room schoolhouses like McGee Sch and Sharp Sch alongside community landmarks such as the County Infirmary. The terrain is defined by the serpentine paths of the South Fork Salt River and its many tributaries, which carved the deep valleys that would later be transformed by reservoir projects.
