About this map

Sedalia serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s topographic study, showing the city's eastern expansion toward Sedalia Memorial Airport. The map documents a dense concentration of civic and educational infrastructure, from the Bothwell Hosp and Smith Cotton High Sch to numerous specialized sites like the Striped College Sch. Transportation corridors are clearly defined, including the heavy rail line of the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri Kansas - Texas route.

South of the city, the landscape transitions into the rural drainage of Flat Creek, where the Sedalia Reservoir and Covered Bridge Park provide local landmarks. This area is dotted with small rural institutions such as Goodwill Chapel and Pleasant Hill Ch, alongside family-named sites like Abell Cem. The proximity of the Quarry and various sewage disposal facilities near the waterways reveals the industrial and utility footprint required to support the growing regional hub in Pettis County.
