1961 Map of Nashua

About this map

Smithville and Nashua anchor this mid-century look at the Clay County landscape, where rural farmland was beginning to meet the expanding Kansas City city boundary. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Crow Creek, Wilkerson Creek, and the winding East Fork Shoal Creek. Local life centers on landmarks like Mt Olivet Ch and the Gordon Sch, while industrial and modern additions such as a Quarry, Radio Towers (KCMO), and a Drive-in Theater appear alongside traditional sites like the Resurrection Cem.
