1954 Map of Peculiar

About this map

Peculiar and the nearby site of Old Peculiar serve as the primary anchors of this mid-century Missouri landscape, where the town layout is split by the diagonal path of the ST Louis and San Francisco railroad. This transportation corridor dictates the placement of community infrastructure, including the Peculiar Cem and a nearby Quarry. The surrounding Cass County countryside is defined by its small school districts, which were still distinct enough to be mapped as individual landmarks like Rodman Sch and Brush College Sch.
