2021 Map of Colony

About this map

Fairmont and Colony anchor this rural landscape in Northeast Missouri, where the borders of Scotland, Clark, Knox, and Lewis counties converge. The terrain is defined by the branching drainages of the North Fabius River and the Little Wyaconda River, creating a network of ridges and bottoms. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Sutter Cem, Standiford Cem, Bailey Cem, and Colony Cem. Transportation follows a mix of established state routes like State Hwy K and a geometric grid of rural roads such as Rainbow Rd and Sycamore Ln. The presence of Hines Airport in the northern reaches suggests the continued importance of regional connectivity in this agricultural heartland, while smaller waterways like Bear Cr and Vernon Br continue to shape the local topography and property boundaries.
