2014 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

Harrisburg serves as the primary hub of this Central Missouri landscape, where the agricultural uplands are deeply dissected by the drainage systems of Moniteau Cr and Perche Cr. The terrain reflects a complex network of rural life defined by early 21st-century county roads and local routes like W Highway 124 and the descriptively named N Devils Washboard Rd. Small, localized settlements such as Minnie, Rucker, and Rileysburg are scattered across the quadrangle, illustrating the persistent importance of named crossroads in this region. Genealogists will find the locations of the Harrisburg Cemetery and Robison Cemetery particularly valuable for tracing local heritage. Water features like Charles Hood Lake and Monte Gurwit Lake provide distinct landmarks amidst the winding courses of Lick Fork and Coon Cr, which shaped the historical development and movement patterns of Boone County and its neighbors.
