About this map

Missouri River oxbows and rural farmsteads define this portion of the Missouri valley, where the waterway creates significant landforms like Lupus Bend, Plow Boy Bend, and Providence Bend. The landscape is a network of small tributaries including Perche Creek, Factory Creek, and Splice Creek, which carve through the terrain toward the main river channel. Settlements such as Lupus, Providence, Easley, and Jamestown anchor the region, connected by a web of local roads named for early schools and families, such as Oakland School Rd and Star School Rd.

Genealogists will find numerous family burial grounds scattered across the bluffs and bottoms, including Pettigrew Cemetery, Hickam Cemetery, and Cofer Cemetery. The presence of the Roche Percée Natural Arch near the river bluffs highlights the distinctive local geology, while place names like Whist Landing and Cave Springs point toward the historical river-based economy and natural landmarks that once guided travelers and residents alike.
