About this map

The Missouri River defines the northeast corner of this 2015 quadrangle, where the borders of Moniteau, Boone, and Cole counties converge. This landscape is characterized by the intricate drainage systems of Little Moniteau Creek, Turtle Spring Branch, and Steinhauer Branch, which carve through the terrain south of the river. Small settlements like Bacon and Sandy Hook are connected by a network of rural roads such as Bacon Bridge Road and Confederate Road.

Genealogical interest is high in this area, with numerous family and community burial grounds documented, including Sweetwater, Lebanon, and Shull. The southern edge of the map captures the outskirts of Centertown, showing the transition from agricultural land to town planning near West Railroad Road. The map provides a detailed view of these rural Missouri communities and their geographic relationship to the river valley.
