1980 Map of Omaha

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Omaha and the surrounding borderlands of Putnam County and Appanoose County reveal a landscape defined by both agrarian life and industrial extraction. The topography is deeply carved by drainage systems like Shoal Cr and Turkey Creek, which create the winding ridges where most of the early infrastructure is located. The prominence of Strip Mines in the western half of the map indicates a significant mid-to-late 20th-century coal operations phase that altered the natural contours near Esper. Numerous family and community burying grounds, including Union Cem and Shipley Cem, are scattered across the rural townships of Liberty and Caldwell, offering vital spatial data for genealogical research. Small cultural centers like Mt Hermon Ch and the settlement of Chariton provide focal points for the dispersed farming community along the Iowa Missouri state line.
