1962 Map of Safe

About this map

The Bourbeuse River snakes through the rolling terrain of eastern Maries and northern Phelps counties, serving as the central drainage for a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and resource extraction. At the time of this 1962 survey, the rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Rock Spring Cem, Underwood Cem, and Dillon Cem. The small settlement of Safe sits near the river's edge, while Light and the edge of St James anchor the southern and western portions of the quadrangle.
