1951 Map of Starkville

About this map

Starkville anchors the eastern edge of this terrain, where the industrial legacy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries is etched into the landscape through the Starkville Mines (Abandoned) and prominent Slag Piles. The settlement is closely tied to the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which follows the corridor of Raton Creek alongside Interstate 25. The map highlights a community once dense with civic infrastructure, including the North Starkville School, Central Starkville School, and South Starkville School, reflecting a population size supported by the local mining economy.
