1947 Map of Oak Ridge

About this map

Apple Creek meanders across the border of Perry and Cape Girardeau counties, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by small mid-century rural communities. The map highlights the transition between the townships of Union, Brazeau, Apple Creek, and Shawnee, where development follows the winding paths of Indian Creek and Buckeye Creek. The settlement pattern is anchored by small crossroad hubs like Uniontown, Appleton, and the distinct post office at Old Appleton (PO).
