1979 Map of Maryknoll

About this map

The Cuivre River carves a winding path across this orthophotoquad, defining the agricultural landscape of Lincoln County in late 1979. This hybrid survey, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, uses high-altitude aerial imagery to reveal the intricate patterns of timbered draws and cultivated fields. The settlement of Old Monroe sits near the eastern edge, while the town of Chain of Rocks is situated along the river's bend, showcasing the relationship between early Missouri towns and local waterways. Further west, the map captures the rural clusters of Ethlyn and Maryknoll. The inclusion of Big Creek provides further detail on the area's drainage and topography, making it a valuable resource for understanding land use and property lines in this riverine corridor during the late twentieth century.
