About this map

The southern outskirts of Columbia meet the sprawling natural landscapes of Boone County in this 2017 study. The area is defined by the intricate drainage systems of Bonne Femme Creek and its many tributaries, including Fox Hollow Br, Smith Br, and Gans Cr. Notable landmarks such as the Rock Bridge and the Devils Icebox highlight the unique geological character of the region.

Settlement patterns are anchored by the town of Ashland in the southeast, with smaller rural communities like Pierpont, Sapp, and Elkhurst linked by a dense network of county roads such as W Rte K and S Rte N. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, including Oakland Cem, Rock Bridge Cem, Samuel Cem, and Harris Cem. The transition from the urban reach of Columbia to the protected lands of Deer Park reflects the modern development of this Missouri corridor.
