2015 Map of Webb City

About this map

Webb City and Carterville anchor this 2015 topographic study of the mining-impacted landscape north of Joplin. The region's history is written in the dense network of cemeteries, from the large Mount Hope Cemetery to the smaller Friends Cemetery near Purcell. The transition from historic industrial activity to modern infrastructure is visible as the highway corridors of Webb City and Carterville intersect the older rural grids of Neck City and Alba. The northern reach is defined by the Spring River, while Center Creek winds between Oronogo and Brooklyn Heights. Local transport and aviation history are noted by the Cooper Flying Service Airport and a grid of county roads such as Co Road D and Kafir Rd, reflecting the steady development of this Jasper County corridor between the river and the urban expansion of Joplin.
