1950 Map of Newburg

About this map

The Gasconade River and Little Piney Creek converge in this mid-century Missouri landscape, framing the central hubs of Newburg and Arlington. The industrial and transport backbone of the region is defined by the St Louis San Francisco railroad, which follows the river valleys and services the local timber and farming communities. This survey reveals a land transition from deep river bottoms to the heights of Pea Ridge and the Devils Backbone, much of which is contained within the Mark Twain National Forest. Local life is anchored at rural landmarks like New Home Ch and Mungy Sch, while the presence of the Boulware Ford (Abandoned) and Whitehouse Ford (Abandoned) indicates a shift away from traditional river crossings toward modern roadway infrastructure. Factual details such as the Gaging Station and various hollows like Sugartree Hollow provide specific points of interest for historical study.
