1984 Map of Mitchellville

About this map

Big Creek and its many tributaries, including Crabapple Branch and Flint Branch, define the topography of this rural section of Missouri near the border of Harrison and Daviess Counties. The map documents small clusters of activity at Mitchellville, Wildwood, and Bridgeport, providing a detailed look at the rural road network and property distribution in the early 1980s. A local Cemetery and the Miracle Hills Ranch stand as distinct landmarks amidst the agricultural landscape. The drainage patterns of the region are exceptionally clear, with secondary waterways like Polecat Branch, Tom Branch, and Nobel Branch feeding into the larger Cypress Creek system. This provisional survey captures the transition of the landscape from the upland areas of White Oak and Bethany down through the creek valleys.
