1947 Map of Joplin
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Tri-State Mining District dominates the eastern half of this mid-century survey, illustrating a landscape defined by the extraction of lead and zinc. Centered on the border of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, industrial features like Strip mines and a dense network of railroads including the Joplin-Pittsburg RR and St Louis-San Francisco RR connect the major hubs of Joplin and Pittsburg. To the south, the sprawling military footprint of Camp Crowder is visible near Neosho, while the George Washington Carver Nat Mon appears as a key cultural landmark.
