2014 Map of Batavia

About this map

Batavia and the northwestern outskirts of Harrison anchor this Boone County landscape, where the Ozark plateau is deeply etched by a network of drainage forks and family-named hollows. The settlement pattern follows the high ridges and valley floors, connected by historic routes like Old Hwy 65 N and the modern Us-65. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family burial grounds, including Gass Cem, Loback Cem, and Sanders Cem, often located near small communities such as Ridgeway and Prosperity.
