About this map

Mokane and the southern edge of the Mark Twain National Forest define this section of Callaway County at the turn of the millennium. The Missouri River forms the dominant southern boundary, carving a wide floodplain that includes St Aubert Island and a substantial Levee system. The transition from the river bottom to the uplands is marked by the Katy State Park Trail, occupying the former corridor of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad.

Genealogists will find several landmarks across the varied terrain, including Mt Tabor Cem and Middle River Cem, alongside the R-II Sch near the river bluffs. The landscape is deeply dissected by drainages like Middle Fork River, Muddy Creek, and Snyder Branch. Historical settlement patterns are visible at Liberty and the crossing at Browns Ford, while industrial activity is noted at several Quarries and Claypits scattered throughout the hills.
