About this map

Caplinger Mills serves as a central landmark in this 1991 survey, situated where the Sac River winds through Cedar County. The landscape is defined by the river's serpentine path, creating dramatic landforms like Horseshoe Bend and providing a foundation for local recreation at the Campground and Boat Ramp. The map captures a rural Missouri landscape marked by traditional family-named features and small community nodes such as Leila Store and Hackleman Corner.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds and places of worship, including Hackleman Cem, Preston Cem, and West Union Ch. The topography transitions from the river bottoms to elevated bluffs like Vilhauer Bluff and Moore Bluff, while the Coal Bank Hills in the southeast hint at the region's geological and industrial past. This record documents the transition of the Sac River valley as it interacts with the northern reaches of Stockton Lake.
