Description
Bird's eye view of the city of Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Missouri 1869. Drawn by A. Ruger
Reproduction map of the community known as Chillicothe, MO, drawn by Prussian born Albert Ruger. Known today as the Home of Sliced Bread, Chillicothe is located near the Grand River and was named after the nearby Shawnee band and village. Chillicothe is Shawnee for "Big Town". This panorama was produced shortly after Chillicothe was incorporated as a city. It shows the local landscape of a time just 10 years after the completion of the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, which was transforming the city from it's modest architectural frame structures to two and three story business buildings.
