1890 Map of Hermann

About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep valley through the center of this region, separating the prairie lands of Montgomery and Warren counties from the high, dissected ridges of Franklin to the south. Three major rail lines dictate the commercial layout of the late nineteenth century: the Wabash Railroad serves northern towns like Jonesburg and High Hill, the St. L. and K. City R.R. connects Warrenton and Truesdale, and the Pacific Railroad follows the southern riverbank through New Haven and Washington.
