2017 Map of East Lynne

About this map

East Lynne and Gunn City anchor this portion of the western Missouri prairie, where a grid of rural roads connects established farming communities and family landmarks. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including the serpentine path of Big Cr and Camp Br, interspersed with numerous small bodies of water like Meher Lake and Young Lake. Local history is visible through the positioning of several rural cemeteries, such as the Staley Mound Cem located near the elevation of Staley Mound, and the Strasburg Cem to the north. Significant terrain features like Schindorff Hill rise above the surrounding creek bottoms of Louse Run and Crawford Cr. This contemporary topographic record reflects a landscape where the traditional section lines of the township and range system continue to dictate the pattern of human settlement and transport.
