About this map

Carrollton serves as the focal point of this region, where the street grid of the town proper gives way to the open agricultural lands of Carroll County. Southward from the intersection of Old US Hwy 65 and Old US Hwy 24, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Wakenda Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Wakenda Cr and Standley Br. The map documents a rural transition between the upland settlements and the lower bottomlands approaching the great river.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the massive curves of the Missouri River, where significant landmarks like Bakers Bend, Cranberry Bend, and Hills Bend mark the dynamic waterway. Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the presence of Willis Chapel Cem and Adkins Cem, alongside smaller communities like South Carrollton and Wakenda. The area's agricultural and logistical identity is further highlighted by the Famuliner Farms Airport near the eastern boundary.
