About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Boone and Moniteau Counties, defining a landscape of dramatic river bends and fertile bottoms. Along these sweeping curves lie named reaches such as McBaine Bend, Lupus Bend, and Plow Boy Bend, each marking the shifting history of the waterway. Small settlements like Lupus, Providence, and Easley anchor the riverbanks, while Jamestown sits further inland to the southwest, connected by a network of rural routes including Possum Trot Rd and State Hwy Y.

Genealogists can find several family and local burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Hickam Cem, Bethel Cem, and Pettigrew Cem. Notable geographic landmarks such as Roche Percée Natural Arch and Cave Springs highlight the unique geology of the region near Perche Creek. The map also details the transition from the river valley to the upland outskirts of Columbia, visible in the northeast near S Old Plank Rd and Smith Hatchery Lake.
