About this map

The Missouri River defines the landscape as it winds through the border of Chariton and Saline counties. This riverine environment is marked by significant topographical features such as Little Missouri Bend, Gilliam Bend, and Wilhoite Bend, alongside complex hydrological formations including Hayes Cutoff and Big Cutoff. The influence of the Chariton River is also prominent, feeding into the northern reaches of the area.

Small settlements and rural communities such as Cambridge, Aholt, Cazzell, and Rockford are scattered across the terrain. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites, including Asbury Methodist Cem, Porter Chapel Cem, and Good Hope Cem. The local transportation network relies on an intricate system of rural routes like Old Chariton Rd and Pawpaw Trl, providing access to the fertile lands between the river bends and northern hills.
