1944 Map of Humansville

About this map

Humansville serves as the primary hub in this 1940s survey of the tri-county corner where Polk, St. Clair, and Hickory counties meet. The settlement patterns of the era are clearly defined by a network of rural schools, including Locust Grove Sch and Rose Bud Sch, which supported the surrounding farming communities. To the east, the village of Flemington sits along the St Louis San Francisco railroad, a vital transit link for the region's agricultural output.
