1976 Map of West Plains NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

West Plains serves as the primary urban center in this orthophotoquad, which showcases the transition from town lots to the sprawling agricultural and timber tracts of southern Missouri. The aerial perspective from 1976 reveals a landscape defined by irregular forest patches and cleared pastureland, with the Spring River cutting across the southern portion of the sheet. The small community of South Fork anchors the southwestern corner, illustrating the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the Ozarks during this era. This specific photographic survey provides a clear view of the road network and land-use divisions before further modern development, making it a valuable tool for understanding the mid-1970s rural layout of Howell County.
