2021 Map of Lawrenceton

About this map

Lawrenceton sits at the heart of this landscape, situated near Pinhook Hollow and the winding course of Fourche a Du Clos. To the northwest, the residential development surrounding Goose Creek Lake represents a modern contrast to the surrounding terrain of Pine Ridge and Siebert Bottom Hollow. The area is notably dense with small family and parish burial sites, such as the Patterson Family Cem, Bequette Cem, and Saint Lawrence Cem, which provide significant geographic clues for genealogists and local researchers. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several streams, including Terre Bleue Cr and Establishment Cr, which drain the ridges along the St. Francois and Ste. Genevieve county line. This distribution of rural cemeteries and remote church sites like Little Vine Church Cem reflects the established family footprints in this portion of the Missouri Ozarks.
