About this map

Arrow Rock stands as a prominent historical waypoint along the high bluffs overlooking the Missouri River, where the Lewis And Clark Trail of Discovery Trl and Pierre A'Efectte Trl meet the water. This 2021 survey documents the complex river geography of the Saline and Howard county border, defined by dramatic meanders such as Saline City Bend, Salt Creek Bend, and Slaughterhouse Bend. The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands of Jameson Island to the rolling uplands of the Blackwater R drainage.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including Arrow Rock Cem, Townsend Cem, and Rose Hill Cem near Lisbon. The map also traces the drainage patterns of several tributaries, including Pierre Fleche Cr, Slough Cr, and Boones Br, illustrating the intricate relationship between the Missouri’s floodplain and the surrounding Missouri settlements of Petersburg and the Arrow Rock vicinity.
