About this map

William Woods University serves as a central anchor for the city of Fulton, where the urban grid meets the winding courses of Stinson Creek and Smith Branch. The area is particularly notable for its concentration of commemorative and educational sites, including the Winston Churchill Memorial and Library. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of Callaway County, marked by traditional rural settlements such as Hams Prairie and Pitcher.

The hydrography of the region is defined by numerous smaller bodies of water like Paul Herring Lake and Hauck Lake, alongside distinct topographic features such as Devils Backbone and Mays Prairie. For researchers, the map provides a precise record of local genealogy through numerous burial sites, from the large Hillcrest Cemetery to smaller rural grounds like Muir Cemetery and United Brethren Cemetery.
