About this map

Marshall serves as the focal point of this Saline County survey, dominated by a dense grid of civic and educational institutions. The campus of Missouri Valley College and the Vocational and Technical Sch anchor the southern part of the city, while the Courthouse, City Hall, and Po define the municipal center. The local infrastructure of the early 1970s is well-documented, showing the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor and the Marshall Memorial Airport alongside residential developments like Town and Country Lake.

South of the city, the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of Liberty township, carved by the Salt Fork Missouri River and its tributaries including Dicks Branch and Finney Creek. This rural expanse is dotted with community landmarks like Blue Lick Springs, Midway Ch, and several country schoolhouses such as Elgin Sch. The map provides a detailed view of these rural settlements and cemeteries, including Fairview Cem, before later modern developments altered the local character.
