2017 Map of Freeburg

About this map

Freeburg sits at the heart of this central Missouri landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural communities near the border of Osage and Maries counties. The town is characterized by a mix of residential streets like E Walker St and local landmarks such as the Holy Family Cem. The geography is defined by a series of significant drainages and hollows, including the winding path of the Maries River and tributaries like Wansing Br and Cedar Cr. A network of family-named lanes and hollows, such as Steuber Hollow and Boehmer Hollow, indicates a landscape shaped by generations of local settlement and land use. The presence of the Breeding Cem and several distinct hollows named for schools or families suggests a deep connection to local genealogy and the historical distribution of homesteads throughout the river valleys and ridges of the region.
