About this map

Jefferson City serves as the focal point of this survey, where the Missouri River separates the capital from the lowlands of North Jefferson and Cedar City. The landscape reflects a deeply established civic and educational identity, anchored by the campus of Lincoln Univ and significant local landmarks like the Jefferson City Memorial Airport. The map documents a dense network of historical burial sites, including the Woodland Old City Cem and both locations of Saint Peters Cem Number 1 and Number 2, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists.

South of the city, the winding course of the Moreau River and Wears Creek define the topography near Wardsville and Frog Hollow. Transportation corridors are well-defined, showing the Union Pacific railroad lines and the transition from urban streets to rural routes like Cedar City Rd and Hough St. This edition captures the capital city at a peak of modern expansion while preserving the names of family-named plots like Lamkin Cem and Smith Cem that predate the surrounding suburban development.
