About this map

The University of Missouri Ashland Wildlife Research Area dominates the northern reaches of this Missouri landscape, where the meandering Cedar Creek forms the natural boundary between Boone and Callaway counties. To the south, the industrial and agricultural character of the region is evident near the Missouri River, where the State Prison Farm sits just across the water from the northern edges of Jefferson.

Transport and transit infrastructure of the late 1960s are clearly visible, including the tracks of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas and Missouri Pacific railroads. Local genealogy is well-served by the documentation of rural landmarks like Mt Zion Cem (Church), Hopewell Ch, and Wallace Cem. The area around Holts Summit shows burgeoning settlement patterns, contrasted by the numerous quarries that define the river bluffs.
