1954 Map of Strasburg
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Strasburg anchors the southern portion of this landscape at a significant rail junction where the Missouri Pacific and C R I & P lines converge near the banks of Big Creek. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural transition across the Jackson Co Cass Co line, showing a network of small family and community hubs like Pleasant Grove Sch and Community Hall. The northern boundary is defined by Lone Jack, situated near a series of rest areas and the Soldiers Cem, reflecting the area's historical depth. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses, including Crawford Creek and West Branch, which carve through the land before meeting the larger creek systems. Distinctive local landmarks such as Sloan Cem and the elevated Devil Ridge provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in Van Buren and Polk townships.
