1967 Map of Roff South

About this map

The St Louis - San Francisco railroad cuts a north-south path through the center of this landscape, connecting the northern settlement of Roff to Scullin in the south. This corridor is flanked by the undulating terrain of the Mosley, Fitzhugh, and Gibbs districts, where small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered sandpits and a gravel pit near the Hickory community. The rural character of the region is defined by large landholdings such as Winrock Farms and the Horseshoe Ranch, while the Hickory Cem provides a focal point for local genealogical research. Water is a dominant feature, with the Blue River and Pennington Creek winding through the hills, punctuated by more modern infrastructure like the Winrock Landing Strip. This survey captures the transition between established railroad towns and the expanding ranching and quarrying operations of the late 1960s.
