2012 Map of Blackburn

About this map

Mount Leonard and the village of Blackburn anchor this northern Saline County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of country roads. The terrain is characterized by the branching drainages of Jordan Creek, Salt Pond Creek, and Brushy Creek, which carve gentle valleys through the prairie farmland. For genealogists, the presence of Blackburn Cemetery, Allen Cemetery, and Gross Cemetery provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots within this rural community. The map also captures local water management and recreation at Stoll Lake and the Blackburn Pond Dam. A distinctive topographical feature is the Old Channel Davis Creek, showing the natural shift of watercourses in this part of Missouri. The landscape is primarily divided by county routes such as Co HWY-301 and Liter RD, illustrating the persistent rural infrastructure connecting these small settlements.
