About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path through Lafayette County, defining the northern landscape of this region with prominent features like Lexington Bend, Sheep Nose Bend, and Tabo Bend. This 2012 survey illustrates a modern water management system, documented through numerous structures such as the Tabo Creek Watershed Structure D-20 Dam and Ladys Lake Dam. These efforts to control the local hydrology have resulted in several named bodies of water including Lafayette D10 Lake, Hicklin Lake, and the specifically numbered Number 141 Reservoir.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain shifts to the open expanse of Sauk Prairie and the smaller settlements of Halls and Winton. Local history and genealogy interests are centered around Slusher Cemetery and the recreational areas near Lions Club Lake Number 10298 and the Lexington City Park Dam. The map also details the complex drainage of the Lick Fork, Crooked River, and Garrison Creek tributaries as they move through the agricultural land south of the Missouri.
