About this map

Central Missouri State College anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, marking a period of mid-century growth for the city of Warrensburg. The campus is surrounded by local institutions including Memorial Hospital and several neighborhood schools like Reese Sch and Southeast Sch. To the east, the landscape transitions into the rolling hills of Montserrat, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain near several family burial grounds, including Maxwell Cem and Mayes Cem.

The northern reaches of the map are defined by the winding course of the Blackwater River, fed by tributaries like Blackjack Creek and Post Oak Cr. This area retains a distinctly rural character with scattered landmarks such as Fair Oak Ch and Victory Sch serving the farming community. The presence of numerous quarries near the river indicates the local importance of stone extraction during this era, while the eastern edge provides a look at the undeveloped margins of Knob Noster State Park.
