2012 Map of Gilman City East

About this map

The Bolton Post Office serves as a central landmark for the rural Missouri community of Bolton, where agricultural life is shaped by the winding tributaries of the Thompson River. The landscape is defined by a series of creeks, including Fox Creek, Cat Creek, and Sugar Creek, which carve through the countryside and support small impoundments like Theusen Lake Dam. To the south, the settlement of Melbourne and the eastern edge of Gilman City anchor the local geography. Family history is well-preserved across several burial grounds, from the Springer Chapel Cemetery near the northern border to the Mitchell Cemetery and Gilman Cemetery further south. Extensive preservation is evident in the Wayne Helton Memorial State Wildlife Area, which protects a significant portion of the northern terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the road network connecting these scattered hamlets via routes like Co HWY-666 and Co HWY-624.
