About this map

Webb City and Carterville anchor this 1963 survey of Jasper County's industrial heart, where the legacies of lead and zinc mining dominate the landscape. Extensive areas marked by Tailings, Mines, and Mine Dump labels trace the extraction history that shaped these communities, particularly around Oronogo and Alba. The region's transition into a modern hub is visible through the expansion of the Joplin Airport and the presence of the Drive-in Theater near the city limits.

Social and civic life is anchored by institutions like the Mark Twain School, Hatten Park Hospital, and numerous rural sanctuaries such as Prairie Flower Church and Union Chapel. Transportation networks define the terrain, from the St Louis San Francisco railroad tracks to the winding course of the Spring River and Center Creek. Genealogists can find several family and community burial grounds, including Weaver Cemetery and Mt Hope Cemetery.
