Historic Map - Jefferson City, MO - 1869
Description
Bird's eye view of Jefferson City, the capitol of Missouri 1869. Drawn by A. Ruger.
Reproduction map of the town known as Jefferson City, MO, drawn by Albert Ruger. Jefferson City is located on the southern side of the Missouri River and at the northern edge of the Ozark Plateau. It was named state capitol in 1821 after Thomas Jefferson. By the mid-nineteenth century German immigrants had established many vineyards in the area that has come to be known as the Missouri Rhineland along the Missouri River. During the Civil War, Jefferson City was occupied by Union troops and the Union had many supporters there. The city is dominated by the Capitol's domed roof as it still is today.
The map features clearly labeled street names with lively scenes of riverboat, railroad, carriage and pedestrian traffic. It features inset illustrations of State Capitol and Court & Market Houses.
