1967 Map of Huntsdale

About this map

Huntsdale and McBaine serve as the primary riverfront settlements on this mid-Missouri landscape, positioned where the rugged bluffs meet the fertile bottomlands of the Missouri River. The drainage network is complex, defined by the winding paths of Perche Creek and Hinkson Creek which flow toward the big river, while Tadpole Island sits prominently in the main channel. The era’s transportation infrastructure is clearly visible, with the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad tracing the river's edge and the modern expansion of Interstate 70 cutting across the northern portion of the map. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Valley Springs Cem, Mt Nebo Cem, and Conley Cem, reflecting generations of settlement. On the eastern edge, the urban growth of Columbia begins to encroach upon the rural landscape, marked by schools like Strawn Sch and Fairview Sch.
