2011 Map of Coffey

About this map

Pattonsburg and the town of Coffey anchor this northern Missouri landscape at a time when modern highway corridors intersect with ancient drainage patterns. The Grand River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, collecting a network of local tributaries including Big Creek, Hog Creek, and Hickory Creek. This drainage system defines the local geography, with the small settlement of Cypress situated centrally among these winding waterways. The map illustrates a rural area defined by its sectional road grid, featuring many family-named routes and functional thoroughfares such as Elmwood Ave and Granite Ave. For genealogists and local historians, the Waters Cemetery and the location of Mooney Bridge over Big Creek provide specific points of interest for tracing land use and community connections in Daviess County. The juxtaposition of the Interstate 35 corridor against the quiet reaches of Little Cypress Creek highlights the evolution of travel in this agricultural region.
