1970 Map of Murfreesboro
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Murfreesboro serves as the focal point of this 1970 survey, situated at the junction of Prairie Creek and the Little Missouri River. The landscape reveals a unique intersection of geological interest and ancient history, notably at the Crater of Diamonds (Diamond Mine) southeast of the town center and the Indian Mounds located near a bend in the river. Rural life is well-documented through a network of country churches and burial grounds such as Maple Springs Ch, Sweet Home Ch, and Valley Grove Cem. Transportation patterns show a transition in the era, with an Old Railroad Grade running through the river bottoms while modern infrastructure like a Substation and Radio Tower reflect contemporary development. The southern portion of the map transitions into the settlements of Kimberley and Sweet Home near the border of Pike and Hempstead counties.
