1972 Map of Morrison
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Morrison and the smaller settlement of Sumner anchor this landscape during the 1970s, where the intersection of regional transport and natural drainage defines the local geography. The map reveals a transition in infrastructure as the Cimarron Turnpike cuts a modern diagonal across older county lines and the tracks of the St Louis - San Francisco railroad. Black Bear Creek meanders centrally across the terrain, joined by tributaries such as Mule Creek and Otoe Creek, while the land is dotted with local landmarks like Petes Corner, Bills Corner, and the Pleasant Valley Cem. This era of Noble County history is also marked by resource extraction and utility expansion, evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits, Shale Pits, and an extensive Pipeline network traversing the northern townships.
