About this map

Auxvasse Creek meanders through the heart of this Callaway County landscape, carving a complex drainage network that includes Whetstone Cr and Harrison Crk. The settlement of Calwood sits at a crossroads in the southwestern portion of the sheet, while the smaller community of Bachelor is positioned to the northeast. Transportation history is visible in the alignment of Old US Hwy 40 and St Charles Rd, tracing routes across the undulating terrain north of Leisure Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Harrison Cem near Yates Br and Fairview Cem to the south. The map provides a contemporary view of rural Missouri, where many roads like State HWY T and State HWY Z follow the established section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting a long-standing pattern of land division and agricultural development.
