1950 Map of Lexington East

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Lexington serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, where the Missouri River cuts a wide path between Lafayette and Ray counties. The map captures a transition from the industrial activity seen at several Mine Dumps and along the Missouri Pacific railroad lines to the educational and social centers of the day. Landmarks like the Wentworth Military Academy and Wentworth Country Club anchor the western edge of the quadrangle, while the rural surrounding areas are dotted with local institutions such as Oak Grove Sch and Locust Grove Sch. This survey provides a look at the river valley before modern infrastructure altered its banks, showing the natural oxbows and lakes like Hicklin Lake and Haines Lake that defined the floodplain's geography during this era of Missouri's development.
