About this map

Locust Creek and its tributary W Locust Cr meander through this Sullivan County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by narrow ridges and wide valley floors. Near the eastern edge of the survey, the city of Milan serves as a local hub, with its grid extending to W Page St and N State St. The area's rural character is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Shatto Cem, Wilhite Cem, and Henry Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Missouri.

Aviation and water management are prominent modern features, represented by the Cowgill-Roemer Airport and the New Milan Reservoir in the northeast. Small bodies of water like Detwiller Lake and Booth Lake dot the countryside, connected by a network of secondary routes such as State Hwy E and State Hwy PP. To the south, the small settlement of Reger remains a waypoint along the stream banks, illustrating the long-standing relationship between local residents and the creek systems.
