1968 Map of Piedmont

About this map

Piedmont serves as the primary hub in this late 1960s survey, showing the town's concentration of industry and infrastructure along the Missouri Pacific railroad. The landscape is defined by the Ozark foothills, where narrow hollows and creek bottoms provided the only level ground for cemeteries like Ruble Cemetery and Williams Cemetery. The map captures a moment of mid-century development, recording a Drive-in Theater and the local Radio Tower (KPWB) alongside older rural landmarks like Beulah Church and Peachtree Church. To the north, the small settlement of Gads Hill marks a point of historical interest near the rugged terrain of Grassy Mountain. Several active Quarries and a Quarry near Lon Sanders Canyon indicate the area's continued reliance on stone extraction and the local geology.
