About this map

The Castor River Diversion Channel and Tilley Ditch dominate the northern landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, reflecting long-standing drainage efforts across the lowland border between Bollinger and Stoddard counties. The city of Advance serves as the primary hub, where local streets like W Benton Ave and Sturdivant Ave meet the regional transport lines of State Hwy C. Smaller clusters such as Brownwood, Swinton, and Toga provide a look at the rural settlement patterns common to the area.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family and community sites, including Morgan Cem and Saint Joseph Cem near the town center, and the more secluded Rock Point Cem to the south. The transition from the engineered waterways in the north to the more natural winding path of Wolf Cr in the south illustrates the area's varied hydrology. Landmarks like the Goose Pond Hills rise above the surrounding flats, offering a rare topographical break in this otherwise controlled water landscape.
