1944 Map of Millersburg

About this map

Millersburg and the surrounding townships of Bourbon and Round Prairie define this agricultural and coal-mining landscape at the close of World War II. The map reveals a high density of rural institutions, with dozens of country schoolhouses like McGuire Sch and Jacobs Sch still standing before the consolidation of rural districts. The terrain is deeply dissected by the Cedar Creek and Bonne Femme Creek systems, creating a network of ridges and bottoms where family-named crossings like Rutherford Bridge and Duley Bridge provide essential transit.
