1948 Map of Galloway

About this map

The St Louis-San Francisco railway defines the industrial and transit corridor of this Greene County landscape, connecting the rural townships of Taylor and North Campbell. Near the settlement of Galloway, the Sequiota State Park and Sequiota Sch highlight a pocket of early conservation and community infrastructure. The map reveals a high density of one-room schoolhouses and country churches that served the agricultural population before post-war consolidation, including Oakland Sch, Pleasant Valley Sch, and Eastland Ch. Along the James River, the crossing at Mc Craw Ford and the Kinser Bridge show how local movement relied on traditional river access points. On the western edge, the Springfield Municipal Park and Airport and Springfield Airport Radio Station signal the encroaching modernization of the nearby city into the surrounding farmland.
