1963 Map of Morley
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Headwater Diversion Channel and Dutchtown Ditch dominate the northern landscape of Scott County, illustrating the massive hydrological engineering required to manage the Mississippi River drainage system. This 1963 survey shows the convergence of the St Louis-San Francisco, Missouri Pacific, and Southwestern railroads, which facilitated the development of rail hubs like Chaffee, Illmo, and Scott City. Centered around the rugged high ground of Cox Hill and Bell Hill, the map reveals a network of small agricultural settlements and rural institutions, including Guardian Angel Ch and New Hamburg. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds such as St Denis Cem and Moore Cem, while industrial sites like the Gravel Pit near Kelso point to the local extractive economy of the mid-20th century.
