1971 Map of Arrow Rock

About this map

Arrow Rock serves as the focal point of this Missouri riverfront survey, positioned on the bluffs above the wide channel where the Saline and Howard county lines meet. The landscape is defined by the shifting course of the Missouri River, which creates complex landforms like Jameson Island and Wallace Island, protected in part by a system of levees. To the north and west, the terrain rises into hills drained by Pierre Fleche Creek and Wood Branch, where early settlement is marked by sites such as Concord Ch and Salem Ch.
