1957 Map of Rocky Mount

About this map

The shoreline of Lake of the Ozarks reaches into the southern half of this area, defining the landscape where Bogue Bay and various inlets meet the rugged Missouri interior. Along the northern edge, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor serves the community of Barnett Sta, while the State Highway No 52 provides the primary overland route through the region. This survey captures a rural landscape where industry and education are closely tied to the land, evidenced by the Stover Coal Bank and a network of local institutions like the Roufon School and Laurel Ridge School. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Morgan Ridge and a complex drainage system including Indian Creek and South Fork Morgan Creek, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and the development of the Rocky Mount PO vicinity.
