1945 Map of Mc Cune

About this map

The Neosho River meanders through the heart of this mid-1940s landscape, its complex oxbows and cutoffs creating a series of water bodies including Halfmoon Lake and Black Lake. This period is defined by the significant industrial presence of the Parsons Ordnance Plant in the southwest, reflecting the era's wartime mobilization. The rural social fabric is exceptionally well-documented through a dense network of one-room schoolhouses such as Pea Ridge Sch, Island Sch, and Neosho Valley Sch.
