1969 Map of Hallsville

About this map

The northern reaches of Boone and Callaway Counties in the late 1960s were defined by a patchwork of small agricultural settlements and rural community centers. Hallsville serves as the primary hub, where the Norfolk and Western railroad intersects with local infrastructure like sewage disposal ponds. The landscape is largely agricultural, punctuated by the wide open spaces of Twomile Prairie and several prominent watercourses including Hinkson Creek, Silver Fork, and Cedar Creek.
