About this map

Big Manitou Bluffs tower over the Missouri River on this 2015 study of the river valley and western reaches of Columbia. The landscape transitions from the urbanized sprawl of Columbia in the northeast to the alluvial bottomlands of Searcys Bend and McBaine Bend. The presence of numerous burial grounds, including Sugar Creek Cemetery and Mount Nebo Cemetery, speaks to the long-standing rural communities established along the river's winding path.

Transport and recreation are intertwined along the Katy Trl, which follows the historic rail corridor through Huntsdale and McBaine. Significant water features like Perche Creek and Hinkson Cr drain the central hills, while smaller settlements like Midway and Turner anchor the local geography. The map provides a contemporary view of the intersection between the expanding city and the natural terrain of the Missouri floodplain.
