About this map

The city of Mexico serves as the focal point for this survey of Audrain County, Missouri, showing the community's westward expansion and industrial corridor. The Mo-FF railroad tracks cut through the landscape, connecting the urban center to the settlement of Thompson and supporting local transport. Several large family-named impoundments, such as Mrs Sam Locke Lake and Paul Veale Lake, indicate a history of land management and personal estate development throughout the rural outskirts.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Saint Brendans Cemetery, Elmwood Cemetery, and Trinity Cemetery. The natural topography is defined by the drainage of the South Fork Salt River, with tributaries like Skull Lick Cr and Davis Cr carving through the terrain. Public spaces such as Lakeview Park Lake and the larger Teal Lake reflect the town's recreational infrastructure during this era.
