About this map

Freeburg serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainages that feed into the Maries River. The town's grid is clearly defined by Walker Ave, Oliver Ave, and Gilbert Ave, with the Holy Family Cemetery marking the community's local heritage. The surrounding terrain is deeply carved by numerous "hollows," including School Hollow, Blue Hollow, and Vienna Hollow, reflecting the drainage patterns of Cedar Creek and Whalen Creek.

South of the main settlement, the Freeburg Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the confluence of Wansing Branch and its tributaries. This 2012 survey illustrates the network of county routes, such as Co RD-531 and Co RD-209, that connect the rural farmsteads and family sites like the Breeding Cemetery and Breeding Hollow to the village center. The map details a transition from high-ground ridges to the river bottoms, tracing the winding path of the Maries River as it traverses the western edge of the quadrangle.
