About this map

The Missouri-Kansas-Texas and Missouri Pacific railroads parallel the northern bank of the Missouri River, defining the industrial and transit corridor between Boone and Callaway counties. This landscape is a mix of protected conservation lands and emerging residential development, with the University of Missouri maintaining the Ashland Wildlife Research Area in the north. Settlement is concentrated around Holts Summit and a nearby Trailer Park in the southeast, while the riverbottoms host the Renz Correction Center.

Rural life is anchored by numerous small landmarks like Mt Vernon Ch and Hopewell Ch, along with family-named burial grounds including Shelley Cem and Wallace Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of waterways including Cedar Creek, Clifton Creek, and Brushy Branch. Extensive Quarries and a Quarry near the river signify the local extraction economy, while various Jeep Trails provide access to the more wooded interiors of Summit and Guthrie townships.
