About this map

The town of Green Ridge sits at the northern edge of this landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural region of Pettis County and Benton County. The mid-1970s terrain is defined by its transit history, showing the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad cutting diagonally through the center, while the southern reaches are marked by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific line near Brandon. An Old RR Grade south of Bryson indicates a shift in the local transportation network over time.

Waterways like Flat Creek, Barker Creek, and Crooked Creek drain the countryside, winding through sections named Washington, Green Ridge, and White. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as Prairie Chapel Cemetery and various landmarks including a Radio Tower and a Mast. This survey provides a clear view of the rural Missouri landscape just before the further modernization of the late 20th century.
