About this map

Middletown serves as the primary hub in this rural landscape at the intersection of Montgomery, Pike, and Audrain counties. The village is surrounded by a network of family-held lands and community landmarks, including the Fairmount Cem on its northern edge. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of the West Fork Cuivre River and Sandy Creek, which carve through the townships of Indian, Hartford, and Prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural institutions such as the Central Union Ch and the Rudd School near the Rudd School Cem. Smaller settlements like Gazette and Estes appear as quiet outposts connected by section-line roads. A lone Landing Strip southwest of Middletown provides evidence of modern transportation trends amidst a landscape otherwise dominated by traditional Missouri agriculture and timbered creek bottoms.
