2012 Map of Carrollton West

About this map

Carrollton anchors the northeastern corner of this Missouri landscape, where the town's grid gives way to the intricate hydrology of the Missouri River floodplain. The area is defined by the winding course of Wakenda Creek and the meandering Moss Creek, which feed into various oxbows and managed waterways like the Sugartree Ditch. This 2012 survey illustrates a transition from the elevated town site down to the agricultural bottomlands, a terrain marked by numerous sloughs including Booker Slough and the descriptive Dirt Slough. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cemetery on the edge of town, Austin Cemetery near the former settlement of Sugartree, and the Sacred Heart Cemetery to the west. Transportation infrastructure is central to the area's layout, featuring the Carrollton Memorial Airport and the rail-oriented landmark of W B Junction, which sit near the recreational waters of Carrollton Recreation Lake.
