About this map

Poplar Bluff and its southern agricultural fringes are documented in this mid-1960s topographic survey, which also includes 1970s revisions. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Missouri Pacific railroad and the Black River corridor. While the city expansion is visible near the Eugene Field Sch, the rural areas reveal a dense network of local institutions essential for genealogical research, including the Black Creek Ch Cem, Friendship Cem, and Melton Cem.

Significant cultural markers like the Mt Sinai Ch and the Drive-in Theater sit alongside drainage features such as Cane Creek and the Slough. This map captures a period of transition, where established rural communities like Harviell and Angus remained distinct before further suburbanization. The inclusion of an Old Railroad Grade and the Radio Tower (KAA) provide specific points of interest for local historians studying transportation and communication evolution in Butler County.
