1948 Map of Mulberry
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Mulberry and the surrounding borderlands of Kansas and Missouri are defined by a complex network of strip mines and industrial activity at the end of the 1940s. The landscape is dotted with numerous small settlements and rural education centers, including the Breezy Hill Sch, Coal Valley Sch, and Cockerill Sch, which served the families of miners and farmers. Heavy rail traffic from the St Louis - San Francisco, Kansas City Southern, and Missouri Pacific railroads links the coal-producing areas to larger markets. Beyond the industrial excavations, family names are preserved through landmarks like Martin Mound and Haake Mound, while local spiritual and communal centers like McKill Chapel and Heaviside Cem provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research in this hardworking pocket of the tri-state area.
