1964 Map of Warsaw East

About this map

The Osage River corridor near Warsaw underwent a significant transformation in the mid-1960s, as shown by the blue hatching marking future inundation for the Harry S Truman Reservoir. This era captures the landscape just before the rising waters altered the topography, with established rural communities like Majorville, Dell, and Old Fredonia still centered around traditional country landmarks. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Pate Cem, White Cem, and Smith Cem, are plotted alongside local centers of worship such as Evening Shade Ch and the Turkey Creek Chapel.
