About this map

Cedar Creek meanders through the center of this landscape, marking the winding boundary between Boone and Callaway counties before reaching the Missouri River in the south. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Clifton Cr, Skunk Cr, and Turkey Cr, which carve through the wooded hillsides of the Mark Twain National Forest. Settlement is concentrated in the southeast at Holts Summit, while the small community of Folsom sits to the north.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across these rural sections, including Mount Vernon Cemetery, Meng Cemetery, and Wallace Cemetery. For recreation and transport, the Katy Trl follows the riverbank, tracing a path that historically served the rail corridor. Private developments around Lake Champetra and Demarco Lake contrast with the rugged, undeveloped public forest lands, illustrating the modern rural character of the region just north of the state capital.
