1949 Map of Lexington East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lexington rises above the south bank of the Missouri River, serving as a focal point for commerce and education in Lafayette County. The influence of the Wentworth Military Academy is prominent on the western edge of town, while the surrounding landscape reveals a deep history of coal extraction, evidenced by several Mine Dumps scattered through the hills. This 1949 survey illustrates the vital role of the Missouri Pacific railroad, which skirts the bluffs and connects the river bottoms to the upland settlements.
