1962 Map of Waltersburg

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Shawnee National Forest dominates this section of Pope County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of Lusk Creek and its many tributaries like Copperous Branch and Beatty Branch. In the early 1960s, small rural settlements such as Eddyville, Raum, and Waltersburg served as the primary social hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The area is dotted with numerous country churches, including New Liberty Ch and Mt Zion Ch, which often sit adjacent to family or community burial grounds like Whiteside Cem. A notable landmark of the era is the Raum Lookout Tower, positioned to monitor the dense timberlands of the national forest. The map reveals a landscape where traditional agriculture and forestry met modern infrastructure, shown through the development of State Routes 145 and 146.
