About this map

The Big River and its numerous tributaries, including Clear Creek and Flat Creek, define the landscape of eastern Missouri as it appeared in the early 21st century. This area of Washington County is centered on the established settlements of Belgrade and Caledonia, where the map reveals a high concentration of family-named landmarks and historical infrastructure. Notable sites for genealogical research include the Bennett Bryan Cemetery, Jane Bryan Cemetery, and Caledonia Cemetery, alongside early industrial remnants like the Bryan Gristmill.

Surface water management is a dominant theme of the terrain, visible through a network of small impoundments such as Lake Loomis Dam and Bressie Lake Dam. The road network, including names like Webster Rd and Lovers Ln, connects scattered homesteads with these rural centers. From the heights of Kitchell Hill to the valley of Furnace Creek, the map details a community deeply rooted in its local geography and family legacies.
