About this map

Dover and Weber anchor the southwestern landscape of this Lewis County region, where the North Fabius River flows toward its confluence near the Illinois border. The eastern edge is defined by the Mississippi River, featuring Durgans' Landing as a historical river-access point. This area is characterized by an extensive system of water management and small-scale reservoirs, including Tracy Lake, Solter Lake, and the numerous Durgens Creek watershed basins.

Social and local history is preserved in the placement of the Wyaconda Church near the Wyaconda Church Bridge and the Gordon Ford river crossing. For genealogists, several prominent burial grounds are documented, including Riverview Cemetery, Salter Cemetery, and Marks Memorial Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the river lowlands to the rolling uplands, where the Windy Hill Airport serves the rural community amidst a network of secondary roads and local branches like Oyster Branch and Linn Branch.
