1949 Map of Rothville
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Rothville serves as the primary hub in this late-1940s landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of country schools, including Pershing Sch, Hess Sch, and Johnson Sch, which highlight the rural education infrastructure of the era. The terrain is deeply carved by the winding paths of West Yellow Creek and East Yellow Creek, which converge to form the main stem of Yellow Creek. This survey captures a rural Missouri economy in transition, where local industry is represented by a small Coal Mine and a Gravel Pit. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of community anchors like South Eagle Ch and the Stains Cem, alongside family-named landmarks like Holloway Sch and Stains Sch.
