About this map

Stockton Lake and Pomme de Terre Lake dominate this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the significant hydrological transformation of western Missouri. Controlled by the Stockton Dam, the waters of the Sac River and Little Sac River branch through the terrain, creating a complex shoreline that borders the Stockton State Park. Further east, the Pomme de Terre River feeds into its namesake reservoir, surrounded by numerous conservation areas like the Birdsong State Wildlife Area.

Transport and commerce are anchored by the Burlington Northern rail line passing through Bolivar, the region's primary hub. The map captures a mix of prairie conservation at Wah-Kon-Tah State Prairie and historic river crossings such as Caplinger Mills. Local landmarks like The Mound and Blue Mound provide topographic relief amidst the expanding network of wildlife areas and small settlements like El Dorado Springs and Hermitage.
