1946 Map of Millersburg

About this map

Cedar Creek carves a winding path through this mid-1940s landscape, marking the boundary between the townships of Columbia, Cedar, and Bourbon. The map captures a transition in land use, from the expansive University of Missouri Game Preserve in the southwest to active Strip Mine operations near Stephens. The settlement of Millersburg sits at a crossroads, surrounded by a dense network of country schools like Boydsville Sch and Branch Sch, which suggest a well-populated rural community of the era.
