About this map

The Mississippi River corridor in northeast Missouri anchors this landscape, where the river serves as the state boundary between Lewis County, Missouri, and Illinois. The riverfront town of La Grange sits at the southern end of the sheet, characterized by its grid of streets including Jefferson Street and Pierce Street, and the prominent Riverview Cemetery overlooking the water. Northward, the settlement of Canton occupies the riverbank opposite Dillon Island.

Inland from the river, the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries and managed water bodies. The Wyaconda River and Durgens Creek wind through the hills, punctuated by numerous named reservoirs such as Waganer Lake, Todd Lake, and Lake O'Vaughn. Rural life is centered around landmarks like Wyaconda Church and the settlement of Dover, while family history is preserved at the Salter Cemetery and Marks Memorial Cemetery near the river bluffs.
