2011 Map of Leesville

About this map

Harry S Truman Reservoir dominates the drainage and topography of this Henry County landscape, where winding backwaters and fingers of the lake reach deep into the Missouri countryside. Small settlements like Leesville and the uniquely named Tightwad serve as local anchors in an area defined by rural road networks and agricultural tracts. The map reveals the hydrology of several significant tributaries, including Cedar Creek, White Oak Creek, and Sparrow Creek, which feed into the primary reservoir system. To the west, the community of Coal and the northern site of Hortense mark the periphery of this lake-oriented region. This 2011 survey captures the area at a point when the reservoir had become the central geographical feature, influencing the local layout of rural roads such as NE Highway PP and SE 500th Rd.
