1946 Map of Millersburg

About this map

Cedar Creek winds prominently through the center of this mid-1940s landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Boone and Callaway counties. The area is characterized by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including a remarkably high concentration of country schools such as Duncan Sch, Boydsville Sch, and New Richland Sch. This era captures the transition of the local economy, where early river-and-creek crossings like Rutherford Bridge and Duley Mill Bridge stand alongside more modern developments like the Airway Beacon near Lindbergh. Community life is anchored by small settlements such as Millersburg and Stephens, while the southern reaches are dominated by the University of Missouri Game Preserve. Scattered strip mines point to active resource extraction during this post-war period.
