1970 Map of Rogersville

About this map

Rogersville serves as the primary hub on this Ozarks landscape, positioned where the St Louis - San Francisco railroad cuts through the northern townships of Washington and West Benton. The map documents a predominantly rural and agricultural environment during the late 1960s, defined by its complex network of springs, caves, and hollows. Water is central to the local geography, from the meandering Finley Creek and its many tributaries like Pedelo Creek and Johnson Creek to the recreational waters of Lindenture Lake.
