About this map

Mississippi River commerce and the high knobs of the Missouri river bluffs define this landscape, anchored by the river town of Clarksville. The 1990s terrain is heavily marked by industrial and navigational infrastructure, notably the Lock and Dam No 24 and an adjacent Sewage Disposal Pond. Inland, the topographic relief is characterized by numerous named peaks such as The Pinnacle, Robert Hill, and Richardson Knob, which separate the various drainages of Calumet Creek and Fox Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks and rural centers across the quadrangle, from the southern settlement of Paynesville to the Greenwood Cem and Corinth Cem. The presence of an Athletic Field and a Quarry suggests a mix of community life and natural resource extraction. The boundary between Calhoun Co and Pike Co follows the river channel, while agricultural patterns are etched into the valleys around Mud Creek and Ramsey Creek.
