1982 Map of Humeston
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Humeston anchors this Wayne County landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern and the corridors of the Old Railroad Grade. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring a sewage disposal pond to the northwest and The Cinder Path following the former rail line toward the northeast. This 1982 map reveals a rural economy structured around small settlements like Cambria and the locality of Fairall, with a landscape segmented into the townships of Richman, Washington, Clay, and Benton. Significant local history is preserved in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Cambria, Kirby, Rush, and Greenlee cemeteries. The terrain is drained by the South Fork Chariton River and its tributaries, such as Ninemile Creek and Wolf Creek, which carve winding paths through the agricultural fields.
