About this map

Lake Paho and the surrounding drainage basins of Mercer County define the landscape of this northern Missouri region. The small settlement of Goshen serves as a central point, situated near the intersection of several local routes such as Garden St and Fathom St. The map reveals a rural character shaped by significant water systems, including W Muddy Cr and Sandy Cr, which cut through the undulating terrain.

For those researching local history, the placement of several burial sites like Pleasant Hill Cem and Goshen Cem provides important genealogical markers. The presence of the Pleasant Ridge Church Cem suggests a long-standing community hub in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This detailed topographical record illustrates how the rural road network, including State Hwy WW, follows the natural ridgelines and creek valleys established by waterways like Brush Cr and Martin Cr.
