2015 Map of California South

About this map

Corticelli and the southern outskirts of California anchor this topographic landscape in central Missouri. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding North Moreau Creek and its many tributaries such as Mineral Br, Scott Br, and Marney Br. This area shows a pattern of rural development where local infrastructure follows the hydrology, evidenced by landmarks like the Burris Fork Bridge and McDowell Bridge. For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are preserved across the sections, including Boeckhaus Cemetery, Gamble Cemetery, and Defoe Cemetery. The presence of Railroad Lake and Derbey Lake highlights the small-scale water management typical of this region's agricultural and transit history. The map captures a transition from the structured street grid in the north to the more irregular, creek-carved landscape of southern Moniteau County.
