1956 Map of Lockwood
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Lockwood serves as the primary hub in this mid-century portrait of southwestern Dade County, where the St Louis San Francisco Railroad railroad cuts a straight line through the agricultural prairie. The township structure is clearly delineated, showing the intersection of Ernest, North, and Lockwood districts. Rural life is anchored by a network of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Mt Nebo Ch and Messick Cem, many situated near the winding drainage of Horse Creek and its various tributaries like Lobby Prong. The presence of the Immanuel Cem and Sewage Disposal facilities at the edge of the main town site reflects a community balanced between its pioneer roots and modern infrastructure requirements of the 1950s.
