1950 Map of Meta
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Osage River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Cole, Osage, Miller, and Maries Counties, dictating the development of the mid-Missouri river hills during the mid-century. This survey captures a rural landscape where small river towns and agricultural centers like Westphalia and Meta are connected by a network of one-room schools and parish churches, such as St Margaret Ch and St Margaret Ch. The transition from river-based transport to rail is evident, with the Bodie Ferry (Aban'd) marked as out of use while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts through the southern hills, passing through Tunnel No 2 and serving the community of Argyle. Geologic and local landmarks like Arch Cave and Painted Rock Lodge stand alongside family-named sites like Thompson Hill Sch, reflecting a deeply rooted local history.
