1946 Map of Sedalia East

About this map

The industrial hub of Sedalia dominates the landscape of Pettis County in the mid-1940s, shown here as a major railroad center defined by the intersection of the Missouri Pacific and M K T lines. The massive Missouri Pacific Shops and M K T Shops occupy significant territory on the western side of the city, illustrating the town's importance to the regional transit economy. The gridded streets of the city center give way to a dense network of educational institutions, including Horace Mann Sch and Eugene Field Sch, while Hebrew Cem sits near the western city limits.
