About this map

The western expansion of Sedalia is the primary focus of this 1970s landscape, where the established city grid meets the agricultural reaches of Pettis County. The sprawling State Fairground and the campus of State Fair Community College serve as central landmarks on the urban fringe, while the Missouri Pacific and Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroads cut through the terrain, supporting the region's industrial and transport needs.

Rural life is anchored by small communities like Dresden and historic gathering places such as Camp Branch Ch and McKee Chapel. The map reveals a high density of cemeteries, including Quisenberry Cem and Memorial Park Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Natural features like Muddy Creek and Basin Fork wind through the township, interspersed with several active Quarries and the Walnut Hill Country Club.
