1934 Map of Papinsville

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Papinsville and the surrounding river bottomlands are defined by the complex, meandering path of the Osage River in this 1934 survey. The landscape reflects a transition from high prairie to a dense network of sloughs and bends, notably where the Mariais Des Cygnes Drainage Ditch cuts across the floodplain to manage the seasonal waters of the Mariais Des Cygnes. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several one-room schoolhouses, including Fairmont Sch and Belvoir Sch, and the historical significance of the Old Harmony Mission Site. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Blue Mound and Pleasant Gap, which stand in contrast to the numerous oxbow lakes and named river features such as Apple Garth Bend and Logan Lake that dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle.
