2017 Map of Berger

About this map

Berger and its surrounding riverlands are defined by the winding course of the Missouri River, which separates Franklin and Warren counties. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape deeply rooted in family history, evidenced by the numerous small family cemeteries scattered across the bluffs and bottoms. From the Kallmeyer Cem and Bade Cem in the south to the Millers Cem and Foster Cem north of the river near Gore, these sites mark the legacy of early settlers in the region. The map shows the convergence of several waterways, including Big Berger Creek and Little Berger Creek, which flow toward the Missouri valley. Small settlements such as Etlah and Bernheimer are linked by rural routes like Bernheimer Rd and Hwy B, maintaining the area's agricultural character. This modern topographic record is an essential resource for genealogists tracing these specific family burial grounds and the evolution of the riverfront geography.
