About this map

Swan Lake National Wildlife Ref dominates the northern landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, where a complex system of water management including Levee 5-Swan Lake Dam and Levee 3-Silver Lake Dam shapes the habitat. The area is defined by its low-lying hydrology, with Yellow Creek and Elk Creek winding through the terrain near Hog Ridge.

Small settlements such as Mendon, Whitham, and Snyder are connected by a grid of county roads and historical routes like Compton Ferry Rd. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several significant landmarks, including the Stephenson Cemetery west of the river and Jackson Cemetery near Salt Creek. The presence of the Eagle Lodge Airport and Hampton Feed Lot reflects the region's mix of private aviation and agricultural commerce.
