About this map

Carrollton anchors the northeastern corner of this Missouri quadrangle, situated where the terrain transitions from the rolling uplands of the north down toward the flat agricultural expanse of the Missouri River floodplain. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, featuring the winding path of Wakenda Creek and the engineered channels of Sugartree Ditch. Cultural landmarks like Oak Hill Cemetery and the Carrollton Memorial Airport sit on the higher ground near the city, while small rural clusters like Palemon and Sugartree mark the lower agricultural districts.

Transportation and water management shape the region, evidenced by the rail crossing at W B Junction and the presence of numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial sites like Gilead Cemetery and Austin Cemetery. Large water bodies such as Carrollton Recreation Lake and Stanley Lake dot the area, alongside natural features like Booker Slough and Moss Cr, illustrating how the local geography has been adapted for both industry and local recreation.
