2012 Map of Brashear

About this map

Brashear serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in northeast Missouri, where a complex network of waterways defines the terrain. The North Fork Salt River and its numerous tributaries, including Floyd Creek and Steer Creek, wind across the quadrangle, interspersed with several engineered water features like Taylor Dam and McCullough Dam near Patten Lake. Small settlements such as Clay and Bullion are connected by a dense grid of county roads and named lanes, illustrating the persistent rural township structure of the early 21st century. The map also captures the headwaters of several drainages, such as the South Fork South Fabius River and Brushy Fork, showing how the land is naturally divided by these modest but significant watercourses.
