1953 Map of Waconda Springs

About this map

Waconda Springs and the Great Spirit Spring are the central landmarks of this Mitchell County landscape, situated near the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork of the Solomon River. The terrain is characterized by the winding river valleys and the creek systems of Carr Creek, Oak Creek, and Mill Creek that drain the surrounding uplands. Published as part of a Missouri River Basin development program, the map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 1950s, including the Missouri Pacific railroad line following the river's northern bank.
