1944 Map of Sedalia West

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The State Fair Grounds on the western edge of Sedalia anchor this 1940s landscape, illustrating the city's role as a regional hub for central Missouri. The map captures a moment when the rural periphery was defined by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses like Oak Grove Sch, Brown Sch, and High Point Sch, alongside community centers such as Camp Branch Ch. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts across the northern terrain, serving the village of Dresden and industrial points like Campbell Siding. This detailed survey highlights the agricultural transition between the wooded creek bottoms of Muddy Creek and Flat Creek and the open stretches of Prairie and Dresden townships, where family landmarks such as Quisenberry Cem and the Mc Kee Chapel remain as markers of early settlement.
