2015 Map of Decaturville

About this map

The Decaturville landscape in Camden County is defined by a dense network of hollows and creek beds, most notably the winding path of Dry Auglaize Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain carved by history and geology, where family names are etched into the land at sites like Stone Cemetery, Garrison Cemetery, and Wheeler Cemetery. The area south of Camdenton shows a distinct transition from the aviation activity at Camdenton Memorial Airport to the deep-set drainage patterns of Morgan Hollow and Pettijohn Hollow. Prominent topographical features like the Devils Backbone provide natural landmarks for navigating the ridges above Forbes Br and Prairie Br. The map's layout captures a rural Missouri corridor where modern roads like Mo-V intersect with older settlement patterns near Hugo and the crossing of the Laclede County line.
