1947 Map of Glasgow
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Glasgow and the surrounding river bluffs of Howard County and Saline County define this post-war landscape, where the Missouri River carves a winding path through Central Missouri. The map illustrates a complex fluvial environment marked by numerous bends, including Glasgow Bend, Cambridge Bend, and Nigger Bend, alongside significant landforms like Epperson Island and Jameson Island. The industrial and transportation patterns of the 1940s are visible through the Gulf Mobile and Ohio RR and the Alton Highway, which facilitated trade and movement across the fertile plains.
