About this map

The Grand River meanders through the southern edge of this Daviess County landscape, anchoring a complex drainage network that includes Big Muddy Creek, Mason Creek, and Pilot Grove Creek. The village of Jameson sits in the southwestern corner, serving as a primary point of settlement within a region largely defined by its rural townships, including Salem, Washington, and Lincoln. Small rural Cem sites are scattered throughout the quadrangle, providing important focal points for genealogical research into the area's farming families.

Agricultural land use dominates the terrain, with clear delineations of property boundaries and section lines. To the northeast, the Corporate Boundary of Gilman City just enters the frame, marking the edge of the adjacent community. The convergence of numerous watercourses like Hickory Creek and East Creek into the larger river system highlights the topographical character of the Missouri plains in the early 1980s before significant modern development altered the drainage patterns.
