2011 Map of Bunceton

About this map

Bunceton anchors this central Cooper County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions toward the West Central Loess Hills. The 2011 survey reveals a settlement pattern largely defined by its watercourses, with Petite Saline Creek and Stephens Branch carving through the agricultural tablelands. Small rural hubs like Speed and Bellair persist along a network of local roads such as New Palestine Rd and Old Concord Dr. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several community landmarks, including Concord Cemetery, Briscoe Cemetery, and Masonic Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Coalbank Creek and Hutchison Branch illustrate the area's natural topography, showing how the local road system, including routes like Osage Valley Rd, adapts to the creek-fed valleys of the Missouri interior.
