2012 Map of Altenburg

About this map

Wittenberg and Altenburg anchor the Missouri side of the Mississippi River in this 2012 survey, which highlights the deeply intertwined river geography of Perry and Jackson counties. The map captures a landscape defined by dramatic limestone features and fertile bottomlands, from the iconic Tower Rock rising out of the water to the heights of Fountain Bluff and Walker Hill across the channel. The area's settlement history is evident in the numerous religious and community landmarks, including Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem and Concordia Lutheran Cem, as well as small landings like Loimbach Landing and Brunkhorst Landing that once facilitated river commerce. Inland, the terrain is carved by the Brazeau Cr and Owl Cr, while the Illinois side features a complex network of drainage and levee systems protecting the Brazeau Bottoms. This edition provides a clear view of the modern road network, including Indian Ridge Rd and Neunert Rd, connecting rural settlements like Jacob and Neunert.
