About this map

The North Moreau Creek carves a winding path through this portion of Cole County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and established family cemeteries. Significant 1980s photorevisions highlight the expansion of Apache Flats and development near the Country Club as suburban growth began to press westward from the state capital. Earlier 1968 surveying detail remains for the village of Lohman, showing the rail siding along the Missouri Pacific and proximity to St Pauls Ch.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites including the Wilkerson Cem, Stone Cem, and the Old Catholic Cem near Plummer. The map also captures the recreational footprint of the era, featuring Binder State Memorial Park and its spillway, alongside the smaller Lake Claradean. These features, coupled with a solitary Mine and numerous small branches like Kautsch Branch, illustrate the transition from a purely agricultural and rail-oriented economy to one influenced by regional parks and growing residential neighborhoods.
