2015 Map of Gower

About this map

Gower serves as the primary hub in this corner of Missouri, situated where the borders of Buchanan and Clinton Counties meet. This rural landscape is defined by its agricultural layout, punctuated by family and community landmarks such as Antioch Cemetery and Allen Cemetery. The terrain follows the drainage of several waterways, including Castile Cr and Linn Br, which flow southward toward the northern reaches of Smithville Lake. Small settlements like Grayson and Scearces are connected by a network of rural routes, including NW Old Highway 169. The southern edge of the survey captures the fringe of Edgerton and the small-scale aviation footprint of Starr Airport. This map illustrates the persistence of traditional land divisions, showing how historic cemeteries like Mount Carmel Cemetery and Grayson Cemetery anchor the community's geographic identity over time.
