1956 Map of Wagoner

About this map

Wagoner sits at the heart of this mid-century portrait of Cedar County, Missouri, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Horse Creek and Cedar Creek. The map records a rural community in transition, noting both active and former landmarks such as the Sand Ridge Sch (Abandoned) and the Sand Ridge Cem (Abandoned) in the northwest corner. The social fabric of the era is evident in the placement of the Amity Community Hall and Independence Community Hall, alongside local spiritual centers like Hopewell Ch and Independence Ch. The terrain transitions from the bottomlands of Stinking Creek to the prominent rise of Boston Bluff, while several bridges, including Vasser Ford Bridge and Hopewell Bridge, mark the essential crossings for local commerce and travel between Benton and Linn townships.
