About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors this survey of eastern Russellville, running parallel to Galla Creek and the southern slopes of Carrion Crow Mountain. The landscape transitions from the developed edge of the city, featuring the County Fairground and Russellville Municipal Airport, into a mosaic of rural settlements like Pottsville and Center Valley. Topographic relief is defined by the prominent Gum Log and Moreland uplands, where small creeks such as Bakers Creek and Shiloh Creek carve through the valley floors.

Local genealogy and history are well-preserved through numerous community landmarks, including Crawford Sch and several country churches like Harmony Ch and St Paul Ch. The map captures a detailed snapshot of the region's mid-century infrastructure, noting numerous family burial grounds from Utley Cem to Rankin Cem, alongside industrial markers like several Gas Wells and a Drive-in Theater near the city's outskirts.
