2021 Map of Argo

About this map

The Little Bourbeuse River and its various tributaries, including Opossum Cr and Lyman Cr, define the rural landscape of this region at the intersection of Franklin, Crawford, and Gasconade counties. The settlement of Japan is a central point of interest, anchored by the Holy Martyrs of Japan Cem and Old Japan Cem. Further south, the community of Argo sits near the headwaters of the Little Bourbeuse River, while the town of Bourbon occupies the southeastern corner. This survey is particularly notable for its dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Martin Cem, Rommelmann Cem, and Bacon Cem, which provide a detailed record of local genealogy and land ownership patterns. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage basins, with Boone Cr flowing through the northeast and the waters of Nolie Lake North and Nolie Lake South situated in the central hills.
