1948 Map of Nashua
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The settlement of Nashua sits at a crossroads in the hills north of Kansas City, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships of Carroll, May, Platte, and Gallatin just after the war. This landscape is defined by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses that once anchored the community, including Martin School, Woods School, Gordon School, Mitchell School, Lone Star School, and Bell School. The map reveals the intricate drainage of the region, where Polecat Creek and Second Creek carve through the terrain, and Mt Olivet Church stands as a spiritual landmark for local farmstead families. A fascinating archival detail is the marking of the Old State Boundary and the line between Platte and Clay counties, providing a clear look at how historical property lines and political jurisdictions were defined in the late 1940s.
