About this map

The town of Fillmore serves as the primary hub of this Andrew County landscape, situated at the intersection of several local routes in a region defined by agricultural aviation and winding creek beds. This 2011 survey illustrates a transition from traditional rural homesteads to modern land use, marked by a high concentration of private aviation facilities including the Lazy W Farms Airport, Cole Landing Strip, and Furst Landing Strip. These airstrips, scattered among the drainages of Arapahoe Creek and Pedlar Creek, highlight the importance of aerial application and private transport in modern Missouri farming communities.

Water management and local geography are further evidenced by several small bodies of water such as Dysart Lake, Smith Lake, and Cole Lake. While the settlement of Rankin represents a smaller historical node, the presence of the Parker Post Office in the northwest corner suggests older patterns of mail delivery and community identity that have persisted through the decades. The map provides a detailed look at the drainage network of Lincoln Creek and Newland Creek, showing how the terrain has dictated the placement of the county road grid.
