2017 Map of Gasconade

About this map

Gasconade sits at the significant confluence where the Gasconade River meets the Missouri River, a geographic focal point that historically defined regional transit and settlement. The landscape is marked by the transition from the broad, flat agricultural expanses of Morrison Bottom and Best Bottom to the rising elevations of Boland Knob. Transportation history is visible in the corridor of the Katy Trl, which follows the northern bank of the Missouri through Rhineland and past Bluffton. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with small family and community burial sites, including the Gasconade City, Saint Marcus, Rabenau, and Doecher cemeteries. The interior is dissected by numerous waterways like Quick Creek and First Creek, while the Eu-Wish Airport provides a modern navigational landmark amidst the traditional river-bottom farmlands and wooded bluffs.
