2015 Map of Fordham

About this map

Fordham and the outskirts of Cameron anchor this Missouri landscape where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the terrain of DeKalb and Clinton counties. The area is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern including Grindstone Cr, Owens Cr, and W Fork Lost Cr, which are interspersed with various man-made reservoirs like Cameron Reservoir Number 2. Small rural settlements and burial grounds such as Redman Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery reflect the long-standing agricultural community. In the southern portion of the sheet, the town of Osborn sits along a major transit corridor, showing the intersection of local roads like Harris St with the regional grid. The map reveals how water management transformed the landscape, visible in the numerous numbered impoundments such as B-36 Lake and A-27 Lake that dot the countryside.
