2021 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn and the nearby crossroads of Sledd anchor this survey of the Missouri landscape along the border of Pike and Lincoln Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Bryants Creek and North Fork Guinns Creek, which cut through the high ground of Springston Knob and Tedlock Knob. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named cemeteries such as Mitchell-Reynolds Cemetery, Elsberry Cemetery, and Howdeshell Cemetery, indicating long-standing rural family settlements across the ridges and hollows.
