1942 Map of Oolitic
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Stone industry and rural commerce define this portion of Lawrence County, where the Guthrie Quarry and Eureka Quarry highlight the region's geological importance. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain, serving towns like Oolitic and Owensburg. Along the White River, significant crossings such as Stumphole Bridge and Williams Bridge provided essential links for the local population. The landscape is dotted with community centers including Shiloh Ch, Popcorn Cem, and several schoolhouses like Mountain Spring Sch. This 1930s-era survey captures a detailed rural infrastructure of numerous small settlements such as Springville and Fayetteville before post-war consolidation, while the State Fish Hatchery near Avoca indicates early conservation efforts in the valley.
