About this map

Unionville serves as the primary hub in this mid-1960s study of Putnam County, Missouri, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line cuts a diagonal path through the township of Wilson toward the village of Lemons. The landscape is a network of rural life, characterized by family-named cemeteries such as Crumpacker Cem and Dixon Cem, along with neighborhood schools like Triumph Sch and Good Hope Sch.

A distinct pattern of land use is visible, from the Fairground and Drive-in Theater on the outskirts of the county seat to the scattered landmarks like the Unionville Airpark and a secondary Landing Field further south. Numerous watercourses, including South Blackbird Creek and East Locust Creek, carve through the townships, while a rare detail for this era—the mapping of selected fence and field lines—reveals the fine-grained agricultural boundaries of the time.
