1953 Map of Leesville

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Osage River and South Grand River dominate the southern topography of this Henry County landscape, where the rising waters of the Harry S Truman Reservoir reach into the winding creek valleys. This 1953 survey, updated in the early 1980s, captures a transition in the land as large portions are designated as State Wildlife Management Area. Local life is anchored by small rural centers like Leesville and the distinctively named Tightwad. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of country schools and houses of worship, including Shady Grove Sch, Turner Sch, and Parks Chapel. Evidence of local industry is visible through several labeled Mines and a Pit, particularly near the settlement of Coal, while recreation areas such as Windsor Crossing Public Use Area mark the evolving use of the riverfront.
