2014 Map of Chelsea

About this map

Chelsea sits along the northern banks of the Missouri River corridor, characterized by the riparian environment of Chelsea Slough and the nearby Chelsea Island. The landscape is defined by the winding drainage of Boxelder Cr, which cuts through the plains from the north to meet the river valley. This 2014 survey documents a predominantly rural infrastructure where local travel relies on routes like Chelsea Loop Rd and Red Thunder Rd. Evidence of the area's social history and early settlement is preserved in the location of Boxelder Cem and Saint Anns Cem, both situated near the lower reaches of Boxelder Cr. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are primarily open terrain, drained by Little Badger Cr and the upper branches of local creek systems.
