1972 Map of Morrison
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Morrison stands as the primary hub in this Noble County landscape, situated where the St Louis-San Francisco railway meets a developing regional road network. To the west, the smaller settlement of Sumner anchors a terrain defined by the winding course of Black Bear Creek and its many tributaries, including Mule Creek and Spring Creek. The era is marked by industrial activity, with an extensive Oil Field and several Gravel Pits and Shale Pits scattered across the township of Missouri. The 1970s updates reveal the presence of the Cimarron Turnpike cutting diagonally through the northeast, signaling a shift in transportation patterns. Local history is further preserved through landmarks like the Pleasant Valley Cem and distinctive rural intersections such as Petes Corner and Bills Corner.
