About this map

The Platte River meanders south through this Andrew County landscape, passing several small rural hubs including Rochester and Fountainbleau. This 2012 survey illustrates the hydrological network of northern Missouri, where tributaries like Niagara Creek, Muddy Creek, and Long Branch drain into the primary river valley. A notable topographic feature occurs at Rochester Falls, while the Elrod Mill State Access Area preserves the memory of former water-powered industry along the riverbanks.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the Bedford Chapel Cemetery in the northwest corner, along with a dense network of county roads that define the region's agricultural character. A specific historical crossing is noted at Wire Bridge east of Fountainbleau, reflecting the engineering solutions required for this waterway-rich terrain. The community of Helena serves as a southeastern anchor point, connected to the surrounding countryside by a grid of numbered roads.
