1946 Map of Sedalia West

About this map

The State Fair Grounds anchor the eastern edge of this landscape, just outside Sedalia, where the mid-century city transitions into the rural townships of Prairie and Dresden. This survey captures the region's agricultural and transit character before the heavy expansion of the interstate era, centered on a network of named country schools and family landmarks. Small communities and rail sidings like Fouling Point and Campbell Siding follow the Missouri Pacific line, while the southern reaches of the map are defined by the winding course of Flat Creek and Basin Fork Creek. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural education centers such as Glover Sch, Jackson Sch, and Brown Sch, alongside community anchors like Mc Kee Chapel and the Quisenberry Cem. The presence of Radio Sta KDRO and the Sewage Disposal plant near the city limits provides a clear picture of the municipal infrastructure serving the county seat at this time.
