2015 Map of Charter Oak

About this map

Charter Oak occupies a central position on this Southeast Missouri landscape, situated near the intersection of Mo-A and Locust St. The geography is defined by subtle topographic rises known as ridges, which likely historically provided high ground in this lowland region. These features, including Big Ridge, Hurricane Ridge, and Cane Ridge, stand out against the surrounding drainage network formed by the Little River and the Upper Castor River. The map meticulously details the county boundary separating Stoddard Co and New Madrid Co, illustrating how local jurisdictions bisect the rural landscape. For those researching family history in the Bootheel, the presence of Simmons Cemetery near the southern border offers a specific point of reference for genealogical study within this grid-based agricultural area.
