About this map

Glasgow and the surrounding Howard County countryside are defined by the wide curves of the Missouri River, which forms the prominent Glasgow Bend and the Bluff Port Reach to the southwest. This 2012 map shows the town's street grid, including 10th ST and 15th ST, transitioning into a landscape of rural roads like Old HWY 87. The area's hydrology is complex, with the Little Chariton River joining the Missouri near Louisville, and numerous drainage systems including Bear Creek, Greggs Creek, and Hurricane Creek carving through the terrain.

Local history is grounded in sites like the Pleasant Green Cemetery and smaller outlying communities such as Steinmetz. Water management for agriculture or recreation is evident through the presence of the Number 120 Reservoir and the Strodtman Lake Dam, alongside Star Lake and Collins Lake Dam. The detailed road network, from named routes like W Orchard DR to numerous numbered county roads, provides a clear picture of modern land divisions and property access in this river-bottom and upland region.
