2015 Map of Fredericksburg

About this map

Fredericksburg and the winding course of the Gasconade River define the eastern edge of this landscape, where the river meets Richland Cr near the Heckman Bend. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Baileys Creek and Hope Cr, creating a complex network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns. Small communities like Aud, Mint Hill, and Hope are connected by a web of county roads and named lanes, such as Stolpe Bottom Rd and Old Ferry Rd. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including the Wilhoit Cemetery, Harris Cemetery, and Plattners Cemetery. The presence of the Koelling Islands in the river and the secluded Lake Isabell further illustrate the water-driven geography of this rural Missouri region.
