2017 Map of Elsberry

About this map

Elsberry serves as the primary hub of this eastern Missouri landscape, situated near the transition from the rolling uplands of the t51n r2e township to the fertile lowlands of the Mississippi River valley. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by water management and rural heritage, featuring numerous watershed structures like the Lost Cr Watershed F-2 Lake and Lincoln County Number 2 Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a dense record of family and community sites, preserving the locations of several burial grounds such as Oak Ridge Cem, Cannon Cem, and the Vance-Seaman Cem. Notable topographical landmarks like Saltpeter Bluff and Steel Point rise above the drainage of Guinns Cr and Bryants Cr in the north, while the southern reaches center on the smaller settlement of New Hope.
