About this map

Mexico serves as the focal point for this section of Audrain County, where the eastern edges of the city give way to a landscape of agricultural fields and managed water bodies. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several river systems, including the South Fork Salt River and Littleby Cr. Notable local landmarks like the Mexico Memorial Airport and the nearby village of Vandiver illustrate the mid-century development patterns of the region.

Genealogists can identify significant burial sites such as East Lawn Memorial Cem and the Benton City Cem located further east. The map highlights numerous small reservoirs and ponds, including Burlington Lake, Blackmore Lake, and Teal Lake, which are interspersed among the rectangular grid of county roads like Co RD 440 and Audrain Road 424. This layout reflects a deeply established farming community centered around the smaller hub of Benton City.
