1969 Map of Millersburg

About this map

Cedar Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this landscape, separating the townships of Columbia, Cedar, and Bourbon. The terrain transitions from the developed fringes of eastern Columbia to the wooded ridges of the Mark Twain National Forest. Local history is anchored by rural centers like Millersburg and Harg, along with several landmark churches such as Olivet Ch and Simpson Chapel. Large-scale Strip Mines are visible in the northeast near Stephens, indicating the area's industrial activity alongside its recreational and conservation lands like the Little Dixie State Wildlife Management Area. Genealogists will find several small family or community burial grounds including Allen Cem and the Hamilton Cem, which document the long-standing settlement of this portion of Boone and Callaway Counties.
