2021 Map of Bowling Green

About this map

Bowling Green serves as the focal point of this Pike County survey, centered around the Pike County Courthouse and a grid of residential and commercial streets. The surrounding landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Cuivre Creek and Sulphur Creek systems, which create a dendritic drainage pattern across the agricultural uplands. Notable smaller settlements such as St. Clement to the south and Ashley at the southern edge illustrate the rural community structure of the early 21st century. The map documents several legacy land markers, including family-named sites like Smith Cem and Ebers Brothers Lake, alongside modern infrastructure like the Bowling Green Municipal Airport. To the northeast, the small community of Tarrants sits near Bibb Lake, showing the persistent pattern of small-town centers and water resources that have shaped this region of Missouri.
