2021 Map of Benjamin

About this map

The Wyaconda River and the North Fabius River define the hydrography of this Lewis County landscape, where the settlement of Derrahs sits near the crossing of State Hwy E. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage basins, including Sugar Cr, Little Sugar Cr, and the smaller S Br Little Sugar Cr. For those researching local lineages, several burial grounds are preserved across the sections, such as Henton Cem, Graves Cem, Jarvis Cem, and Patterson Cem. The southern edge of the map is notable for the Lewis County Regional Airport, contrasting the traditional agrarian land divisions marked by Hickory Ave and Rustic Ave with modern transportation infrastructure. Near the eastern boundary, the Rainbow Slough provides a look at the river bottom wetlands typical of this Missouri region.
