1948 Map of Meta

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Osage River carves a deep, winding path through this mid-Missouri landscape, defining the character of the riverfront communities in the late 1940s. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad serves the southern settlements of Meta and Argyle, illustrating the rail-based economy that persisted alongside traditional river crossings. Transitioning from older methods of travel, the map identifies the Bodie Ferry (Aband) and the active Osage Bluff Ferry, showing how residents navigated the water before modern bridges were universal.
