1949 Map of Gravois Mills

About this map

Versailles stands as a primary hub on this mid-century survey, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad intersects with the Missouri Pacific R. R. (Abandoned) line. The landscape to the south is defined by the encroaching waters of the Lake of the Ozarks, which fills the deep valleys of the Little Niangua River and Gravois Creek. This era captures the transition of the region from an extractive economy to one more focused on the newly formed shoreline.
