1980 Map of Murfreesboro

About this map

Murfreesboro sits at the heart of this Pike County orthophotoquad, where the winding course of the Little Missouri River meets the Muddy Fork. The 1980 aerial imagery reveals a landscape of dense timber punctuated by the clearings of agricultural fields and established settlements. To the south, the community of Kimberley and the hamlet of Roy mark the transition toward the area of Sweet Home. Unlike a standard topographic line drawing, this photo-based survey provides a direct look at land-use patterns and forest density during the early 1980s. The northern reaches are characterized by the highland settlement of Mt Moriah, situated above the river valley. This specific edition overlays land lines from a 1970 survey, offering a valuable reference for property boundaries and rural development near the river forks.
