About this map

The Missouri River cuts across the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking the intersection of Boone and Cole counties. This central Missouri terrain is defined by the winding paths of Moniteau Creek and the Little Moniteau Cr, which drain the ridges and hollows surrounding the village of Centertown. Small rural settlements like Bacon and Sandy Hook anchor the road network, which includes numerous family-named routes such as Dietzel Rd and Hunziker Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered throughout the uplands, including Sweetwater Cem, Lebanon Cem, and Shull Cem. The area south of the river is characterized by complex topography like Cedar Ridge and Hoback Hill, where the drainage patterns of Turtle Spring Br and Steinhauer Br illustrate the deeply dissected nature of the local geography near the turn of the 21st century.
