About this map

The Little Blue River winds through this section of Washington County, defining a landscape shaped by both water and rail. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts across the northern terrain, following the natural contours of the river valley and the drainage of Mill Creek. In the mid-1960s, the rural character of this area is evidenced by the distribution of localized civic and religious sites, such as the St Paul Cem and the Townhall in the western reaches.
