About this map

Columbia Regional Airport occupies a central position on this landscape, its expansive grounds contrasting with the intricate network of creek drainages that define the surrounding terrain. To the south, the University of Missouri Ashland Wildlife Research Area preserves a significant portion of the drainage basins for Brushy Creek and Conner Creek, featuring the Laboratory Dam. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the steep bluffs of the Cedar Creek valley, where topographic landmarks like Devils Backbone and Mill Site Bluff rise above the winding watercourse. Settled life is reflected in small communities like Englewood and Deer Park, along with rural landmarks such as Barnes Chapel and Oak Chapel. Genealogists may find value in several family burial grounds, including Harris Cem, Johnson Cem, and Barger Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills north of the Round Prairie region.
