About this map

The eastern edges of Springfield and the community of Galloway meet the rolling Ozark terrain where the James River and Pearson Creek converge. This 1960s era landscape reflects a city in transition, showing the early suburban development along Sunshine Drive and Battlefield Road alongside the established rural character of North Campbell and Taylor townships. The influence of the St Louis San Francisco railroad is evident, shaping the industrial and residential corridors of the region.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous landmark churches like Kinser Chapel and Mt Pisgah Ch, and a dense concentration of family cemeteries such as Bodenhamer Cem, Parsley Cem, and Webb Cem. For those interested in the area’s mid-century infrastructure, the map details features from the Downtown Airport and Tower (KTTS-TV) to the recreational grounds of Sequiota Park and the Hickory Hills Country Club.
