About this map

Troy serves as a central hub in Johnston County, situated along the St Louis - San Francisco railroad during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Rock Creek and Mill Creek, with the latter cutting through the central portion of the quadrangle. This area reflects a mid-century extraction economy, evidenced by numerous Quarry and Gravel Pit sites scattered near the rail line, including notable Tailings deposits.

Rural infrastructure is visible in the network of unimproved dirt roads and the presence of a Landing Strip and a Drill Hole. Genealogists may find value in the small Cem near the settlement and the various named boundaries like Gibbs, Ratliff, and Garner, which delineate the region's land divisions. The terrain is further etched by secondary waterways such as Bee Branch and Sycamore Creek, with a Ford providing a practical crossing point for the local transport of the era.
