1946 Map of Mound Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The agrarian landscape of Labette County is captured here during the mid-1940s, revealing a dense network of rural infrastructure including dozens of one-room schoolhouses like Cunningham Sch, Globe Sch, and Prairie Hill Sch. The area is anchored by the primary settlements of Mound Valley, Altamont, and Edna, which serve as hubs for the intersecting rail lines of the St Louis - San Francisco, Missouri Kansas - Texas, and Missouri Pacific railroads. The map highlights a transition in land use, where traditional farming near Dixon Mound and Pumpkin Creek exists alongside active petroleum exploration, indicated by numerous Oil wells scattered throughout the townships of Pleasant and Hackberry. A notable landmark of the era is the U S Auxiliary Landing Field, reflecting the regional military and aviation presence during the post-war period.
