1970 Map of Rogersville

About this map

Finley Creek carves a deep, winding path through the Ozark plateau in this 1970 snapshot, defining the rural character where Greene, Christian, and Webster counties meet. The town of Rogersville sits at the northern edge along the St Louis-San Francisco railroad, serving as a transit point for the surrounding agricultural landscape. Further south, the map reveals a rugged terrain of timbered hollows and ridges, such as Peck Ridge and Bishop Hollow, which historically dictated the placement of small settlements and family farms.
