About this map

The Missouri River carves the northern boundary of this landscape, defining the sharp turns of Slaughterhouse Bend and the Boonville Bends where the water separates Cooper and Howard counties. The city of Boonville serves as the regional anchor, situated near the confluence where the Lamine River joins the Missouri from the west. This area exhibits a transition from the river bottomlands to the more dissected upland terrain to the south, where numerous small tributaries like Petite Saline Cr and Lick Br have shaped the topography.

Local history is preserved in the rural church and burial sites found throughout the countryside. The West Boonville Evangelical Church Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to these hills. Transportation history is also visible via the Katy Trl, which follows the old rail corridor through the region, passing north of Friedrich Lake and the industrial outskirts of the city.
