About this map

Bonnots Mill and Tebbetts sit on opposite banks of the Missouri River in this mid-1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major waterways, where the Osage River joins the Missouri near Liberty Island and Dodds Island. The river valley serves as a primary transportation corridor, hosting the Missouri - Kansas - Texas line and the Missouri Pacific railroad.

Further inland, the terrain transitions into a dense network of creek valleys, including Linn Creek and Loose Creek. This rugged hill country is dotted with cultural markers important to local history, such as the Immaculate Conception Cem and Our Lady of Help Cem near Frankenstein. The map documents a rural landscape where family and parish identity is preserved through numerous small cemeteries like Verdot Cem and Weislocker Cem, linked by winding roads across the central uplands.
