2021 Map of Berger

About this map

Berger sits prominently on the southern bluffs above the Missouri River, serving as a central point in this rural landscape where the river bend dictates the orientation of roads and railways. The area is defined by its deep ancestral roots, evidenced by the high concentration of small family and community burial grounds such as Finks Cem, Kallmeyer Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem. These sites, often located near farmsteads or old church foundations, offer significant research value for genealogists tracing the 19th and 20th-century settlement of Franklin and Gasconade counties.
