About this map

Missouri River bottomlands and the bluffs of Cote Sans Dessein dominate this mid-1970s landscape in Callaway County. The river corridor is a hub of transport and industry, featuring the Missouri Kansas Texas and Missouri Pacific railroads running parallel to the water. Significant local infrastructure is visible near the banks, including several Quarries and a Substation.

Away from the water, the terrain transitions into the creek-carved hills of Staubert and Caldwell. This upland area is dotted with small rural landmarks essential for genealogical research, such as the Oakley Ch, R-11 School, and several family and community burial grounds including Riverview Cem and Mt Tabor Cem. The map provides a clear picture of the settlement patterns around Mokane and Liberty during a period of established river-and-rail commerce.
