2017 Map of Coloma

About this map

The settlement of Coloma serves as the focal point for this rural landscape along the border of Livingston and Carroll counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct elevations, most notably the cluster of Tater Hill, Long Tater Hill, and Round Tater Hill located just west of the village. These landforms rise above the surrounding drainage basins of Tater Hill Cr and Big Cr, illustrating the dissected topography typical of this Missouri region. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the sections, including Salem Cem, Hill Cem, and Braden Cem. The map reveals a high density of rural roads like State Hwy Z and State Hwy C that connect various family-named water bodies, such as Maberry Lake, Sykes Lake, and Mandeville Lake. This network of country roads and small creek valleys reflects a long-established agricultural pattern where farmsteads are tucked between timbered hollows and upland ridges.
