1973 Map of Readsville

About this map

The Nine Mile Prairie and Aux Vasse regions define this agricultural landscape in eastern Missouri, as documented in the early 1970s. The settlement of Readsville serves as a local hub, while smaller clusters like Yucatan dot the uplands. This area is heavily marked by rural religious and burial sites, including Antioch Ch and Mt Horeb Ch, alongside numerous family and church graveyards such as Gregory Cem, Whitehead Cem, and St Patricks Cem. The drainage pattern is led by the Prairie Fork and the Loutre River, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of local industry is visible in the scattered Claypits and a Quarry near the Callaway and Montgomery county line, indicating a reliance on natural resources and clay extraction during this period.
