1960 Map of Monegaw Springs NW

About this map

The Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad cuts through the northwestern corner of this landscape, crossing Bear Creek as it passes near the prominent landform known as The Mound. This 1960 era survey reveals a rural landscape in transition, characterized by the extensive footprint of a Strip Mine in the western reaches and a small Landing Strip nearby. These industrial and transportation features contrast with the established agricultural patterns of the Deepwater and Appleton townships. Local social centers are anchored by Marshall and the Community Hall, while spiritual and commemorative sites like Teays Chapel and Harmony Cem provide critical points of interest for genealogists. The drainage network, featuring Ricky Creek and Ditty Creek, defines the lower topography south of Golden Ridge.
