About this map

Boeuf Creek and its many tributaries, including Cedar Fork and Prairie Fork, carve through this section of the Missouri landscape along the border of Gasconade and Franklin counties. The area is defined by a network of small, established communities such as Kohl City, Dissen, and Detmold. These settlements are linked by a dense grid of country roads, many of which carry the names of early local families and institutions, such as Schoeneberg Rd, Vedder Rd, and Grant School Rd.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the numerous burial sites scattered across the township lines, including the Ebenezer Stone Church Cemetery and Kohlbush Cemetery. The terrain is punctuated by significant rises like Kaiser Hill and the Etlah Knobs, while man-made water features such as Ben J Koch Lake and Chester Mayer Lake suggest a long-standing pattern of agricultural land management and private water conservation in this rural corridor.
