1954 Map of Pacific

About this map

Pacific sits at a critical junction of rail and river in the mid-1950s, where the Missouri Pacific and St Louis San Francisco railroads parallel the Meramec River. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the Ozark border, with high points like Lost Hill and Bald Hill overlooking the winding valley. Industrial activity is visible in the Sand and Gravel Pits along the riverbanks, supporting the growth of the surrounding counties.
