1967 Map of Jefferson City

About this map

Jefferson City sits at the heart of this mid-Missouri landscape, anchored by the Capitol and the sprawling campus of Lincoln University. The map reveals the intricate urban development of the state capital during the mid-to-late 20th century, showing the dense concentration of state institutions like the State Penitentiary and the State Highway Patrol Headquarters alongside established neighborhoods. The Missouri River serves as the dominant physical boundary, separating the city proper from North Jefferson, Cedar City, and the Jefferson City Memorial Airport to the north. Extensive genealogical and historical detail is present through numerous burial grounds, including the Jefferson City National Cem and the sprawling Riverview Cemetery. To the south, the terrain transitions into the loops of the Moreau River, where the Lincoln University Farm and smaller settlements like Wardsville mark the rural-urban fringe.
