1948 Map of Pattonsburg

About this map

Pattonsburg serves as a focal point for this Northwest Missouri landscape, where the Grand River meanders in deep loops across the southern township of Grand River. The mid-century agrarian character of the region is evident in the dense network of rural schoolhouses and churches that anchored these communities, such as Maize Sch, Virginia Ridge Sch, and Union Chapel. In the northeast, Salem Coffey PO and Sta highlights the critical role of the Wabash railroad in connecting small towns like McFall and Mitchellville to broader markets.
