About this map

The boundary between Audrain Co and Callaway Co runs across this agricultural landscape, where the headwaters of several major regional river systems emerge. The northern portion is defined by the Salt River and its South Fork, while the southeastern corner introduces the drainage of the Loutre River and Bachelor Creek. This map captures a rural Missouri interior dominated by family-named landmarks and scattered community centers. Significant genealogical data is preserved through the location of the New Hope Ch and its adjacent Union Cem, alongside other burial grounds like Lockridge Cem and Unity Cem. In the northeastern quadrant, a local industrial footprint is evident at the Claypits, suggesting the importance of local geological resources during this era of rural development.
