1969 Map of Millersburg SW

About this map

Columbia Regional Airport anchors the central landscape of this 1969 survey, marking a period of modern infrastructure expansion alongside long-established rural settlements like Deer Park and Englewood. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cedar Creek, which serves as the county line between Boone Co and Callaway Co. This drainage system creates notable topographic features such as the Devils Backbone and Mill Site Bluff, while the southern reaches are dominated by the University of Missouri Ashland Wildlife Research Area, complete with its Laboratory Dam and designated spillways. Small family and community landmarks, including the Harris Cem, Barger Cem, and Barnes Chapel, are scattered along country routes like Blind Lane and Craig Lane, preserving the genealogy of the Cedar and Bourbon townships during the late twentieth century.
