About this map

Danby sits at the northern end of this rural landscape where the border of Jefferson and Ste. Genevieve counties meets the Isle du Bois Cr. This survey captures a remote interior of Missouri marked by family-named landmarks and an intricate network of hollows, such as Hocum Hollow and Prentiss Hollow. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including Baker Cem, Bockenkamp Cem, and Moeller Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills of Jackson and Marion townships.

Transportation and industry are defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and local resources like the Quarry near Sunset Lake. The map reveals a transition in land use through updated purple revisions from 1980, such as a Rest Area and changed field lines, while maintaining the primary topographical data of the early 1960s. From Skaggs Spring to the waters of Fourche a Du Clos, the map documents a specific era of Missouri's mid-century rural development.
