USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The industrial and rail hub of Parsons anchors this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its complex transportation network. The town serves as a major junction for the Missouri Kansas Texas and St Louis San Francisco railroads, which crisscross the prairie to connect outlying settlements like Dennis and Galesburg. Beyond the urban grid of the city, which includes the State Asylum and Circle Park, the map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure that was soon to change.
