1953 Map of Longwood

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Blackwater River and Salt Fork dominate the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, defining the irregular boundaries between Liberty and Blackwater townships. This area of Missouri, straddling the line between Saline and Pettis Counties, shows a rural community structure centered around small hubs like Marshall Junction and the namesake settlement of Longwood. The map provides significant detail for family historians, noting several burial grounds including Witcher Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Cunningham Cem. Education is represented by the Prairie Lawn Sch and the already noted Pleasant Valley Sch (Abandoned), suggesting a shift in rural school districts by the early 1950s. The network of creeks, such as Heath Creek and Finney Creek, reveals a heavily dissected terrain where agriculture followed the contours of the numerous small branches.
