About this map

The eastern edges of Springfield meet the rural expanses of Greene County in this mid-century look at southwest Missouri. The landscape is a transition from urban grids along Division Street and Sunshine Drive to the winding course of the James River and Pearson Creek. Substantial development is evident near the Hickory Hills Country Club, while the surrounding townships of North Campbell, Taylor, and Washington retain a traditional rural character defined by a high density of country churches and family cemeteries.

Infrastructure of the era is prominent, including the St Louis San Francisco railroad lines and the Downtown Airport. The presence of several mines, a quarry, and a Gravel Pit indicates the active extraction industry south of Mt Pisgah. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Logan Sch to numerous burial grounds such as Bodenhamer Cem and Parsley Cem near the settlement of Turners.
