About this map

The Missouri River and Grand River define the alluvial landscape of this region, meeting just south of the settlement at Brunswick. This survey highlights the complex hydrology of the river bottoms, where features like Dewitt Bend, Wakenda Chute, and Potter Slough trace the shifting paths of the major waterways. The town of De Witt sits along the northern bank of the Missouri, while Triplett serves as a northern hub for the surrounding agricultural community.

Genealogists can locate several family and community burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem near De Witt and Allega Cem situated on the higher ground between the river valleys. The intricate network of rural routes, such as Grand River Rd and Fort Orleans Ave, connects isolated farmsteads across the Carroll and Chariton county lines. This map preserves the 21st-century configuration of these river towns before further seasonal flooding or channel changes alter the low-lying terrain.
