About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path through this portion of Boone County, anchoring a series of riverfront settlements including Hartsburg, Claysville, and Wilton. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the fertile Marion Bottoms and the prominent bluffs and islands that characterize this stretch of the waterway. Geological landmarks such as Little Manitou Rock, Bull Rock, and Sugar Loaf Rock stand as sentinels along the river corridor, while the inland areas are drained by a network of creeks including Hart Creek, Jemerson Creek, and Workman Creek.

Local heritage is preserved in the placement of Friedens Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and Steeley Cemetery, which serve as genealogical anchors for the communities of Oldham and Marion. The road network, featuring routes like S Hartsburg Bottom Rd and S Old Route A, follows the contours of the valley, reflecting the area's long-standing agricultural and river-based economy during the early twenty-first century.
