2011 Map of Brazito

About this map

Hickory Hill and Brazito anchor this landscape in Cole County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including the Moreau River and Bois Brule Creek. The map shows a transition from the agricultural uplands near Bass to the riverine bottomlands along the Osage River in the southeast corner. Local genealogy and land-use history are represented through sites like Johnson Cemetery and Mount Carmel Cemetery, while the presence of Taylor Bridge and the intersection of Route D and Heritage Hwy illustrate the regional transportation infrastructure. The naming conventions for local waterways, such as Clark Fork and Landing Creek, suggest early settlement patterns tied to these essential natural resources. Small bodies of water like Lake Carmel and Patterson Lake further detail the rural character of the region during the early twenty-first century.
