1975 Map of Louisville

About this map

Louisville and Corso sit at the center of this rural landscape where the North Fork Cuivre River and Sulphur Creek carve through the Missouri terrain. The survey captures a high density of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, indicating a deeply rooted agricultural community divided into civil townships such as Ashley, Hartford, and Waverly. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites including Old Ashley Cem, Worthington Cem, and the Grimmett Cem near the river crossing at Grimmett Bridge. The geography is defined by a network of natural water sources, from the notable Uncle Sammys Spring to the cavernous Shepherd Cave, while spiritual life is anchored at Louisville Ch and New Liberty Ch. These details document the infrastructure of rural Pike and Lincoln counties before modern development significantly altered the landscape.
