1948 Map of Princeton

About this map

Princeton serves as the central hub of this northern Missouri landscape, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks follow the winding course of the Weldon River. The topography is defined by an intricate network of watercourses, including Big Muddy Creek and Sandy Creek, which carved the terrain long before the 1940s. Smaller communities like Mill Grove, Modena, and Goshen appear as vital rural centers, each supported by a dense distribution of local institutions such as St Paul Church and Oakland School.
