1944 Map of Humansville

About this map

Humansville serves as the primary hub of this 1940s survey, situated where the St Louis San Francisco railroad and Highway 13 intersect. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the South Fork Weaubleau Creek and the sweeping Round Prairie to the north, giving way to the dissected drainage of Panther Creek and Brush Creek in the south. This era reveals a densely organized rural society, evidenced by the numerous district schools that served the farming population.
