About this map

The headwaters of several major regional drainage systems converge along the Audrain Co Callaway Co boundary, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creeks and small rivers. This area in central Missouri serves as a hydrologic divide, feeding the S Fork Salt River to the northwest, the W Fork Cuivre River to the northeast, and the Loutre River and Bachelor Cr to the south. The rural character of the region is punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Lockridge Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Pleasant Grove Cemetery. Scattered water features like Don Woods Lake, Ed Whalen Lake, and the uniquely named Number 222 Reservoir appear alongside a grid of county roads that have shaped the agricultural settlement patterns between Mexico and the Callaway County line.
