2011 Map of Houstonia

About this map

Houstonia sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, a region defined by the winding course of the Blackwater River and its numerous tributaries. Just north of the town, the river creates a complex riparian corridor, supported by landmarks like the McAllister Springs Access Point and Shanz-Stockman Spring. The terrain rises gently toward the north at Coppers Hill, while the surrounding prairie is divided into a geometric grid of county roads and family-named routes such as Schondeimaier Rd and Chamberlin Rd. This rural layout reveals a deeply established agricultural community, with the small settlement of Tedieville situated to the east. Local heritage is preserved at the Houstonia Cemetery and Rose Valley Cemetery, while the presence of Raymond Wicker Lake and Buffalo Creek indicates the importance of water management in this Pettis County setting during the early 21st century.
