About this map

Lewisville serves as the focal point of this Lafayette County landscape in the early 1950s, where the St Louis Southwestern railroad corridor facilitates regional transport. The area is characterized by a mix of early industrial activity and established rural communities, evidenced by several Oil Wells and numerous Gravel Pits north of the main settlement. The survey detail shows a network of local roads connecting dispersed landmarks such as Crossroads Ch and Hickory Grove Ch.

To the east, the town of Stamps sits near the Kansas City Southern line, while the southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the higher terrain of Mars Hill. This area contains the Mars Hill Cem and Bethel Ch, indicating a long-standing residential presence near the winding course of Bodcau Creek. The map also captures smaller locales like Kress City and specialized infrastructure such as the Mining Railroad north of Lewisville.
