About this map

Ashland and the expanding footprint of the Columbia Regional Airport anchor the western reaches of this mid-Missouri landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cedar Cr, which serves as a natural boundary between Boone and Callaway counties. This eastern borderland is significantly more rugged, characterized by topographic landmarks such as the Devils Backbone and Mill Site Bluff, where the creek has carved deep into the limestone. Much of this creek-side territory is preserved within the Mark Twain National Forest.

Rural life is reflected in the scattering of small settlements and family history sites, including Millers, Englewood, and the quiet crossroads of Ginlet. Genealogists may find value in the locations of Johnson Cemetery and Barger Cemetery, or the historic crossing point at Duley Mill Bridge. The map details an extensive network of rural routes, from S Rangeline Rd to E Englewood Rd, that connect these upland farms and wooded valleys.
