2015 Map of Milan West

About this map

Locust Creek and its tributary W Locust Cr define the drainage and topography of this Sullivan County landscape, winding through a network of rural townships. The eastern edge of the survey captures the western portion of Milan, where the local terrain transitions from the developed town grid to the managed waters of the New Milan Reservoir and Shatto Lake. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous family and historic burial sites such as Lovell Cemetery, Wilhite Cemetery, and Henry Cemetery. These landmarks, along with the small settlement at Reger, provide essential data points for genealogists tracing family land holdings in the early 21st century. Infrastructure like the Cowgill-Roemer Airport and a complex web of secondary roads including Prairie Rd and River Rd highlight how modern transportation follows the natural contours of the northern Missouri plains.
