2015 Map of Crosstown

About this map

Mississippi River frontage and the dissected uplands of Perry County define this landscape, where early German Lutheran and Presbyterian settlement patterns remain visible. The community of Farrar is anchored by the Salem Lutheran Church and the adjacent Salem Lutheran Cemetery, while further south, the village of Brazeau sits near the Brazeau Presbyterian Church Cemetery. These tight-knit rural centers, including Frohna and Crosstown, are connected by a dense network of county roads like Highway D and Co Road 322. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Brazeau Creek, Indian Creek, and Omete Creek, which flow toward the river. To the northeast, the river boundary between Missouri and Illinois is marked by Wilkinson Island, illustrating the shifting nature of the state line in relation to the main channel.
