2014 Map of Guilford

About this map

The Platte River meanders through the western portion of this landscape, anchoring the village of Guilford and its surrounding agricultural terrain. Further north, the settlement of Conception sits near the Conception Abbey Reservoir, a notable water feature that supports the historic Monastery nearby. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Noble Rd and Navy Rd, which define the movement through this corner of Missouri. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint family heritage sites including Weathermon Cemetery and Groves Cemetery, both situated south of the principal settlements. The drainage patterns of Clear Creek, Turkey Creek, and King Branch further illustrate how the geography influenced the placement of original homesteads and the eventual township boundaries of T63N and T62N.
