About this map

Lohman and Elston anchor this late 1960s study of central Missouri, documenting a landscape shaped by creek systems and the Missouri Pacific railroad. The mapping includes 1981 photorevisions that reveal the suburban expansion of Apache Flats and development around Binder State Memorial Park. While modern infrastructure like a Substation and Tower appear, the map remains a primary source for genealogists tracing family histories through the numerous rural burial grounds, including Old Catholic Cem, Stone Cem, and Wilkerson Cem.

The winding course of North Moreau Creek and the Moreau River define the southern terrain, where the small settlements of Stringtown and Millbrook are located. Of particular interest to industrial historians is the Old Railroad Grade north of Plummer, which marks a former path of commerce before the rail network consolidated along the northern corridor near Grays Creek. Local spiritual life is well-documented via several country churches, such as St Pauls Ch and St Johns Ch.
