2021 Map of Lucerne
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Medicine Creek and its many tributaries, including Elm Branch and Barber Creek, define the rolling landscape of this northern Missouri border region. The village of Lucerne sits at a crossroads in Putnam County, while the settlement of Newtown is situated further south near the Sullivan County line. This area shows a persistent pattern of rural life and land use, with the Mercer County line cutting through the western portion of the map. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted across the terrain, such as Busby Cemetery and the nearby Old Busby Cemetery, which hint at the generations of families who settled these creek valleys. The drainage systems of West Locust Creek and its smaller branches create a complex network of ridges and hollows that have historically dictated the placement of early roads and farmsteads.
