2012 Map of Bevier South

About this map

The Middle Fork and East Fork Little Chariton River define the hydrological character of this Macon County landscape, with the southern portion dominated by the reach of the Thomas Hill Reservoir. This area has long been shaped by industrial activity, as evidenced by the namesake of the Central Coal and Coke Corporation Lake Dam and the presence of small, discrete settlements like Number Eight, Northwestern, and Keota. These locations, alongside Binkley and Ardmore, reflect a historic pattern of proximity to natural resources and transportation corridors. The map records a complex network of small local roads, such as Heritage Rd and Intrepid Rd, which connect these established communities to the larger hub of Bevier at the northern edge. The presence of several dams, including Keota Lake Dam, underscores the managed water systems critical to both industrial and agricultural development in this part of Missouri.
