2010 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Lancaster and Glenwood anchor this northern Missouri landscape, where the agricultural grid is etched with historical family names and community landmarks. The area is defined by the winding course of the South Fork North Fabius River and several managed water bodies like Ursel Gingerich Lake and Lancaster City Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating numerous burial grounds including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery, Washington Cemetery, and Coatsville Cemetery. Small settlements like Glenwood Junction and Anderson Corner reflect the rural intersection points that once facilitated local trade. The road network, with names like All Shire School Rd and Red School Rd, hints at the locations of former country schoolhouses that served the surrounding farmsteads.
