2012 Map of Jameson

About this map

The town of Jameson anchors the southwestern corner of this Daviess County landscape, where the local road network follows a strict sectional grid typical of the Missouri plains. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a terrain deeply defined by its drainage systems, most notably the winding paths of Big Muddy Creek and Hickory Creek, which converge south of the primary settlement. The northern and eastern reaches of the map are largely agricultural, interspersed with family-named landmarks such as Hill Cemetery and small water bodies like Cook Lake. A complex network of local routes, including Beacon Ave and July Ave, connects the scattered farmsteads. The intricate detail of minor tributaries like Pilot Grove Creek and Little Muddy Creek provides a clear view of the natural hydrology that shaped local land use and property boundaries long after the initial pioneer settlement.
