2011 Map of Coffman

About this map

Coffman and Avon anchor this interior section of Ste. Genevieve County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the River aux Vases and its many tributaries. The area's settlement history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including the Stone Church Cemetery and Mayberry Cemetery. The topography is marked by distinctive landmarks like Wild Hog Bluff and Beehive Knob, rising above valleys such as Big Spring Hollow and Herzog Hollow. Small-scale water management is evident through features like the Rainbow Lake Dam and the Brands Lake Dam Section 22 SE. This 2011 survey shows a rural environment where modern road names like Madden Creek Rd and Saline Creek Rd follow the traditional paths carved by the region's waterways, illustrating the enduring influence of the local hydrology on human movement and development.
