About this map

The Old Kaskaskia River and its accompanying levee system define the northern border of this Missouri-Illinois landscape, where the shifting riverbed historically shaped the boundary between Randolph and Perry counties. South of the floodplain, the terrain rises into the rolling hills of Perry County, punctuated by unique geological features like the Ball Mill Resurgence near Blue Spring. The settlement of Lithium sits in the northeast, while the southern reaches are dominated by the winding path of Saline Creek and its tributaries, including the South Fork Saline Creek.

Evidence of historical transit is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the countryside toward Giboney. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Brown Cemetery and small communities like Brewer and St Mary. The map captures a landscape transitioning from the river-fed lowlands to the creek-carved uplands, providing a clear record of rural land use and drainage patterns in the late twentieth century.
