2017 Map of Gallatin

About this map

Gallatin serves as the primary hub of this north-central Missouri landscape, situated near a prominent southern bend of the Grand River. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage network, where numerous tributaries such as Big Muddy Cr, Little Muddy Cr, and Lost Creek converge toward the main river valley. This hydrology significantly influenced the regional road grid, with many routes following the ridgelines between these creeks. Local history researchers will find several notable burial sites surrounding the town, including Everly Cem to the north and the adjacent Greenwood Cem and Hillcrest Cem on the western edge of the settlement. To the southeast, the small community of Magill sits near the confluence of Honey Creek and the Grand River, illustrating the historic pattern of small riverbank settlements in Daviess County.
