2012 Map of Bogard

About this map

Bogard anchors this agricultural landscape in Carroll County, where the grid of rural county roads connects numerous family-named landmarks and water sources. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Big Creek and McGill Creek, punctuated by significant local heights like Mound Bogard. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Smith Cemetery, Streets Cemetery, and Ebenezer Cemetery, providing a spatial record of early settlement patterns. Transport history is marked by Aalberg Siding, while the presence of Germann Lake Dam and Jarvis Lake Dam indicates a managed hydraulic environment for the region's farms. The southern edge of the sheet reaches the outskirts of Carrollton, showing the transition from the village centers of Mandeville and Bogard into more populated township areas. These features collectively illustrate the persistence of small-town Missouri infrastructure and the importance of localized water resources like Knott Lake and Anderson Lake.
