1954 Map of Roby

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Roubidoux Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Roubidoux Creek and Salt Ridge Creek, define the topography of this portion of the Ozarks during the mid-1950s. The landscape is a mix of public and military lands, with the northern section occupied by the Fort Leonard Wood Military Reservation and the central area covered by the Mark Twain National Forest. Local communities are sparsely distributed, featuring the small settlements of Roby, Evening Shade, and Old Evening Shade. A notable pattern of consolidation is evident in the school system, where several rural education centers such as Cedar Bluff School, Pine Hollow School, and Blackjack School are already marked as abandoned, reflecting the post-war shift toward larger district schools. Key landmarks include the Roby Lookout Tower and the Macedonia Cemetery, providing important reference points for genealogists tracing families from Palace or the surrounding hollows.
