1971 Map of St. Joseph South

About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of southern St Joseph is defined by a dense network of railroads and local institutions during the early 1970s. The Burlington Northern and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR cut through the terrain, supporting the massive Stockyards near the Missouri River. To the south, the community character shifts toward rural life, marked by numerous small schoolhouses like Hosea Sch and Mid-Buchanan Sch, alongside historic burial grounds such as Old Sparta Cem and Odd Fellows Cem.
