1979 Map of Novinger

About this map

Novinger serves as the primary hub of this Adair County landscape, where the Chariton River winds southward past industrial and recreational grounds. The map reveals an area defined by its extraction history and evolving infrastructure, marked by numerous unlabeled Mine sites and Sandpits that dot the river valley. The corridor of the Old Railroad Grade follows the river's western bank, passing the smaller settlements of Tipperary and Youngstown. To the east, the creation of Thousand Hills State Park Lake has transformed the terrain into a center for recreation, featuring a Boat Ramp and several Campgrounds. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, from the larger Novinger Cem to smaller family landmarks like Parcell Salisbury Cem and Lutz Cem, alongside rural landmarks such as Bear Creek Ch.
