1972 Map of Frisco City

About this map

Frisco City serves as the central hub of this Monroe County landscape, defined by its position along the Burlington Northern railroad. The town's grid and central business district contrast with the surrounding rural character, where small communities like Megargel, Manistee, and Mexboro are linked by a network of local roads. The social fabric of the era is clearly visible through a high density of country churches and family burial grounds, including Bright Morning Star Ch, Shiloh Ch, and the Baas Cem. This 1970s survey, updated with 1980s aerial data, documents a landscape shaped by water and timber, with Bear Creek and Big Escambia Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of local industry appears at the Gravel Pit near Randons Creek, while the presence of Middle Sch in the heart of the main settlement underscores the area's role as a regional center for education and commerce.
