1957 Map of Peoria

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Peoria and Vaughan anchor this mid-century look at the landscape of Hill County, where the transition from traditional farming to modern infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Triplett Ranch Airfield alongside long-established rural institutions. The map documents a shifting educational landscape, specifically marking Union Bluff Sch (Aband) and Culp Sch (Aband) as no longer in use. A network of creeks, including Aquilla Creek, Hackberry Creek, and Cobb Creek, carves through the terrain, dictating the placement of early settlements and family cemeteries like Hickey Cem. Transportation is represented by the heavy-duty Blue Star Memorial Highway and the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line, while the city boundary of Hillsboro encroaches on the northeastern corner, indicating the growth of the county seat.
