2017 Map of Fulton

About this map

Fulton serves as the academic and civic hub of this central Missouri landscape, home to the campus grounds of Westminster Coll and William Woods Univ. The city sits at the confluence of several small waterways, including Stinson Creek and Smith Br, which drain the surrounding agricultural uplands. South of the city, the terrain transitions into a more dissected landscape characterized by deep hollows like Dark Hollow and prominent ridges such as Devils Backbone. The southern reaches of the map include portions of the Mark Twain National Forest, where the topography drops toward the Middle River. Small rural settlements like Hams Prairie and Pitcher anchor the outlying areas, while numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Muir Cem and the United Brethren Cem, provide essential data points for local genealogy and land-use history.
