1967 Map of Willow Creek

About this map

White River meanders through this portion of Shannon County, carving a wide valley floor flanked by the distinct Cedar Bluff escarpment. The landscape in the late 1960s is defined by its drainage systems, where the East Fork and West Fork converge into Willow Creek, while Mule Creek and Cedar Bluff Creek feed into the primary river channel. This survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, provides a look at the rural infrastructure of the era. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant for local history, including Our Lady of Good Council Ch and St John Chapel, each situated near the river's path. A Gaging Station and a Gravel Pit indicate the light industrial and monitoring activities present on the land during this period.
