1969 Map of New Bloomfield

About this map

New Bloomfield and Holts Summit anchor this survey of southern Callaway County, where small-scale farming and local industry meet the dissected landscape of the Cote Sans Dessein region. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history, evidenced by nearly twenty named burial grounds including Cason Cem, Providence Cem, and Knight Cem. The influence of early telecommunications is visible through the presence of the Radio Tower (KROG-TV) and several smaller substations. Transportation history is etched into the terrain by the Old Grade RR and Town Grade, showing the pathways of former rail lines or early road engineering. Rural spiritual life is centered on landmarks such as St Paul Ch and Pleasant Ridge Ch, while the local economy is hinted at by a Quarry and a Claypit.
