About this map

The industrial and civic hub of Parsons anchors the eastern edge of this mid-century landscape, characterized by the convergence of the St Louis San Francisco and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. Notable local institutions include the State Asylum, the municipal Water Works, and an early Airport north of the city. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a dense grid of rural school districts and small settlements like Thayer, Galesburg, and Dennis.
