About this map

The Missouri River dominates the northern landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, defining the sharp meanders of Lexington Bend and Sheep Nose Bend along the Lafayette and Ray county lines. On the southern bluffs, the eastern edge of Lexington serves as a historical anchor, with streets like Main St and Franklin Ave giving way to a deeply dissected terrain of creeks and ridges. The rural landscape is marked by a network of local roads such as Goodloe Orchard Rd and Halls Station Rd, which connect various agricultural properties and small water bodies.

Water management and local history are evident in the numerous reservoirs and named lakes scattered across the hills, including Palmer-Sill Lake and Hicklin Lake. For those researching local families, the presence of Forest Grove Cem and Slusher Cem provides critical geographic context. The confluence where the Crooked River approaches the Missouri valley highlights the complex drainage patterns that have shaped local settlement and land use for generations.
