1965 Map of Rosebud

About this map

Rosebud and Drake anchor this mid-1960s landscape, which is defined by a dense network of clay mining and traditional rural community centers. Numerous Claypits are scattered throughout the hills, particularly around the northern reaches of Boeuf Creek, indicating a robust local extraction industry. The presence of several distinct congregations and burial grounds, such as Zoar Ch and its accompanying Zoar Cem, alongside St Johns Ch and New Salem Ch, points to a well-established social fabric tied to the land. Transportation is dominated by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which skirts the southern edge of the quadrangle. The topography is intricately carved by waterways like Big Hollow Branch and Langejammer Creek, creating the varied elevation typical of this Missouri region.
