1940 Map of Kirksville
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Kirksville stands as a central rail and highway hub on this 1940 survey, positioned where the Wabash and Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads intersect. The surrounding countryside in Adair County is densely populated with small rural institutions, including a remarkable concentration of country schools such as Radical Ridge Sch, East Elm Grove Sch, and Illinois Bend Sch. These schoolhouses, spaced just a few miles apart, reflect the decentralized educational structure of the pre-consolidation era in northern Missouri.
