2014 Map of Helena

About this map

Helena and the surrounding Andrew County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Platte River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the rural character of northwest Missouri, where small settlements like Fountainbleau and Rochester are connected by a dense grid of county roads. The landscape is deeply incised by water, with Niagara Cr, Muddy Cr, and Long Br carving through the terrain. A notable geographic landmark, Rochester Falls, sits just southwest of its namesake village, while the Bedford Chapel Cemetery in the northwestern corner serves as a significant site for local genealogical research. The presence of a Wire Bridge across a tributary northeast of Fountainbleau highlights the local engineering used to navigate this river-dissected topography during the early 21st century.
