1974 Map of Queen City NW

About this map

Worthington and Livonia anchor this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which provides a photographic record of the Missouri landscape just north of Queen City. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial perspective captures the exact configuration of farmsteads and timbered ridges along the meandering path of the Chariton River. The river corridor dominates the central portion of the sheet, winding through a patchwork of agricultural fields and narrow wooded breaks. The small settlements of Livonia to the north and Worthington near the southern boundary show their simple layout against the rural backdrop, offering researchers a clear view of local land use and property improvements at the time of the 1974 flight.
