About this map

Mississippi River frontage and the shifting waters of the Wyaconda River define this corner of Lewis County. The riverfront towns of La Grange and Canton serve as the primary hubs, anchored by the BNSF Railway corridor that follows the river's edge. This landscape is remarkably densely pocketed with small reservoirs and managed lakes, such as Wagoner Lake and Todd Lake, which illustrate a modern era of watershed management and agricultural irrigation.

Genealogists will find significant local value in the documented burial sites, including Riverview Cem in La Grange and the rural Salter Cem near State Hwy C. The map also captures the settlement of Dover in the southern reaches, situated near the confluence area of the North Fabius River. From the Wyaconda Church Bridge in the north to the industrial river access points, the survey provides a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting both river commerce and inland farming.
