About this map

The Missouri River carves a massive sweeping arc through this Missouri landscape, defining the geographic and historical identity of the region. The river's influence is seen in the dramatic landforms of Napolean Bend and Camden Bend, where the waterway’s shifting course has shaped the surrounding floodplains. Just north of the river, the settlement of Camden and the nearby Camden Junction sit along the primary transit corridor, while the town of Orrick anchors the western edge of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites across the uplands, including Lewis Cemetery, Barsher Cemetery, and Cravens Cemetery. The drainage network, featuring Panther Creek and Rollins Creek, feeds into the Missouri basin, illustrating the watershed's complex topography. To the south, across the river, the village of Napoleon and bodies of water like Lafayette County Lake C-21 mark the transition into the neighboring county, providing a clear record of local jurisdictional and environmental boundaries in the early 21st century.
