About this map

Monticello serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s study, revealing a developing road network with named thoroughfares like Jefferson and Whaley streets. The town's civic core is clearly defined, featuring the Courthouse, Hosp, and High Sch, alongside an established Missouri Pacific railroad corridor. To the north and west, the landscape transitions into a mix of small settlements and rural landmarks, including Gaster Hill and Rose Hill.

The presence of numerous country churches such as Oakland Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch indicates a strong community structure outside the town limits. Waterways like Tenmile Creek and Clear Creek define the drainage patterns of Marion and Saline townships, while frequent Gravel Pit notations across Spring Hill and other ridges suggest the local importance of resource extraction during this era.
