1945 Map of Ozark

About this map

The James River and Finley Creek define the geography of this Ozark plateau region, where late-war development meets an older rural landscape of caves and springs. Outside the established communities of Rogersville and Galloway, the map reveals a network of country schoolhouses like Kelly Chapel Sch and Oak Grove Sch that served dispersed farming families. Aviation and modern infrastructure are increasingly prominent, evidenced by the Springfield Airport, a dedicated Airport Radio Sta, and an Oil Pumping Sta along the St Louis San Francisco RR.
