About this map

The Univ of Missouri-Rolla serves as the focal point of this educational and industrial hub in the northern Ozarks. The urban core of Rolla is well-defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and major thoroughfares like Salem Rd and Dutro Carter Rd. To the west and south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it enters the Mark Twain National Forest, where a network of caves such as Poole Hollow Cave and McCormick Cave perforates the limestone landscape.

Genealogists will find numerous rural burial sites scattered across the township, including the Strawhun Cem, Wiese Cem, and the Hoss-Ray-Miller Cem near Little Beaver Creek. The map documents a diverse local economy, from the Rolla Downtown Airport to extraction sites like the Beaver Creek Mine and various quarries. Public spaces like Lions Park and Frisco Lake offer a view of the city's civic development during the late twentieth century.
