About this map

Advance serves as the primary hub of this Missouri landscape, situated near the intersection of the Bollinger Co Stoddard Co line. The map reveals a complex hydraulic system managed through the Castor River Diversion Channel and various drainage routes like Tilley Ditch, which redirect water away from the low-lying terrain near Goose Pond Hills. To the south, the terrain becomes more varied around Swinton and the waters of Wolf Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey is particularly dense with burial sites. Seven distinct locations are noted, ranging from the centrally located Morgan Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery to the more outlying Rock Point Cemetery and George Cemeteries. Small settlements such as Brownwood, Toga, and Castor appear along a grid of county roads, showing the enduring rural character of the region.
