2012 Map of Martinsburg

About this map

Martinsburg serves as the primary hub in this eastern Missouri landscape, situated near the headwaters of Little Loutre Creek. The surrounding agricultural terrain is defined by a dense network of county roads and a drainage system that includes the Loutre River and several of its tributaries, such as Brushy Branch and Morris Branch. For those tracing local heritage, several historic burial sites are scattered through the countryside, including Martinsburg Cemetery, Chatman Cemetery, and Sawyers Cemetery. To the south, the small community of Shamrock sits near the banks of Bachelor Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip and the Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area-Lake highlights the mix of private utility and public conservation spaces in the region during the early 21st century. The map provides a clear record of the rural property divisions and water sources that have sustained this part of Audrain County for generations.
