2015 Map of Mokane West

About this map

Middle River carves a winding path through the center of this Missouri landscape, eventually joining the Missouri River at the southeastern corner of the map. This river system defines the settlement patterns of Callaway County, where small communities like Mokane, Liberty, and Pitcher are connected by a network of rural routes such as Mo-VV and Mo-PP. The geography here transitions from the protected woodland of the Mark Twain National Forest in the northwest to the fertile bottomlands near the Saint Aubert Chute. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Mount Tabor Cemetery and Middle River Cemetery, which serve as landmarks for genealogists. The presence of Browns Ford suggests a historically significant crossing point on the river, while numerous tributary creeks like Prairie Fork and Hillers Creek illustrate the intricate drainage of the region.
