2015 Map of Fortuna

About this map

Fortuna and Aikinsville anchor this rural landscape along the border of Morgan and Moniteau Counties. This area is defined by a dense network of country roads such as Richland Creek Rd and Newkirk Cemetery Rd, which connect small crossroads settlements and family burial grounds. High ground at Reno Hill overlooks the headwaters of Little Richland Cr and Straight Fork, where the terrain transitions into the subtle valleys of the Missouri interior. Genealogists will find a concentrated cluster of historic burial sites, including Stone Cemetery, Allison Cemetery, and Liberty Cemetery. The southern portion of the sheet near Glensted shows the enduring agricultural character of the region, where roads like Barn Rd and Molasses Rd reflect the local economy and traditional land use patterns of the mid-2010s.
