1964 Map of Harris

About this map

Harris and Newtown sit at the center of this rural Sullivan County landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad forms a distinct north-south artery through the valley. The map documents a classic Midwestern agricultural pattern of the mid-1960s, with scattered homesteads and local landmarks defining the social geography. Small rural centers like Wintersville are detailed alongside numerous family and community landmarks, including the Wintersville Cem and Asbury Ch. Drainage for these rolling fields is provided by Medicine Creek and West Locust Creek, which carve winding paths across the township boundaries of Clay, Liberty, and Medicine. The presence of several small burial grounds, such as Busby Cem and Brackett Cem, provides valuable points of interest for those tracing family history in this corner of North Missouri.
