1967 Map of Roff North

About this map

The town of Roff and the community of Fitzhugh anchor this late-1960s landscape, where the St Louis-San Francisco railroad cuts a diagonal path through the countryside. This survey captures a rural network of churches and burial grounds, including Lightning Ridge Ch and both West Hill Cem and East Hill Cem, essential for genealogists tracing local family histories. The drainage pattern is defined by the Blue River and the winding reaches of Canadian Sandy Creek, with smaller tributaries like East Days Creek and West Days Creek carving into the terrain. Industrial activity is evident in the numerous sandpits, gravel pits, and a quarry near Chimney Hill, illustrating the region's reliance on local natural resources during this era.
