1969 Map of Sturgeon

About this map

Sturgeon sits at the intersection of the Norfolk and Western railroad and several county lines, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The 1969 landscape is characterized by a dense network of family and community landmarks, including Mt Horeb Ch and a significant concentration of burial grounds such as Palmer Cem, Riggs Cem, and Nailer Cem. These features, alongside the smaller settlement of Riggs, provide a detailed look at the social and religious centers of Northern Boone County during this era.
