About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping arc through the southwest corner of this Boone County landscape, defined by dramatic features like Big Manitou Bluffs and Tadpole Island near Searcys Bend. The floodplain gives way to the small settlements of Huntsdale and McBaine, where the river’s historical influence on local transport and topography is most evident. Further north, the terrain transitions into the upland plains hosting the western edge of Columbia and the community of Midway, reflecting the modern expansion of the region.

Genealogists will find several rural burial sites, including Mount Nebo Cem and Sugar Creek Cem, while landmarks like the Sugar Branch Airport and Brushwood Lake provide distinct geographic markers. The intricate drainage network of Perche Creek and its tributaries, such as Sugar Br and Callahan Cr, illustrates the complex watershed that feeds into the Missouri. This survey captures a snapshot of the intersection between traditional river-bottom agriculture and the growing suburban influence of the county seat.
