1948 Map of Mulberry
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Strip mines dominate the landscape across the Kansas-Missouri border, revealing an era of intensive surface extraction during the late 1940s. The town of Mulberry sits at the heart of this industrial activity, surrounded by numerous coal-country settlements including Arma, Croweburg, and Franklin. This survey captures the region's dense network of rural infrastructure, with small country schools such as Breezy Hill Sch and Keplinger Sch serving the local families and miners. The transportation of coal is anchored by three major rail lines: the Missouri Pacific, St Louis - San Francisco, and Kansas City Southern. Beyond the industrial activity, the map records long-standing local landmarks like McKill Chapel and Heaviside Cem, providing a detailed view of Crawford and Bourbon counties before modern land reclamation changed the terrain.
