1962 Map of Warrensburg West

About this map

Blackwater River and its multiple tributaries, including the North Fork and South Fork, define the central geography of this West-Central Missouri landscape during the early 1960s. The settlement of Centerview serves as a local hub along the Missouri Pacific railroad line, while the western edge of Warrensburg begins to encroach on the eastern margin of the sheet. Rural life is anchored by several small burial grounds such as Mount Maria Cem and Dixon Cem, along with Jacoby Chapel. The emergence of modern infrastructure is evident through the inclusion of Sky Haven Airport and a municipal Sewage Disposal plant. The terrain transitions from the well-watered valleys of Honey Creek and Walnut Creek to the higher elevations of the surrounding townships, showing the established agricultural grid and road network before significant suburban expansion.
