About this map

The Upper Castor River meanders across this Stoddard County landscape, defining a terrain of river bottoms and rolling uplands north of Bloomfield. This modern topographic survey shows the seat of local government at the Stoddard County Justice Center, surrounded by a dense network of county roads like Co RD 514 and Stoddard RD. Historically significant sites for genealogists are numerous, including several family and community burial grounds such as North Antioch Cem, West Antioch Cem, and the rural Walker Cem.

Small settlements like Zadock anchor the northern reaches of the map, while local water features like Joe Hendley Lake and Whites Lake punctuate the landscape between the river's bends. The transition from the developed streets of Bloomfield to the surrounding agricultural fields and forested tracts along Link Cr illustrates the area's current land-use patterns, maintaining a layout of section lines and rural homesteads that has persisted for generations.
