1950 Map of Smithville
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Smithville serves as a primary hub where the Little Platte River meets the Platte River valley, anchoring a landscape defined by its river crossings and rural school system in the late 1940s. The area is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including the Covered Bridge and historical crossings like Hixon Bridge and Rice Bridge. The settlement pattern follows a dense network of country schools such as Lone Star School, Stony Point School, and Prairie View School, which supported the dispersed farming communities across Preston and Platte townships.
