About this map

New Bloomfield and the expanding northern reaches of Holts Summit anchor this 2012 survey of central Callaway County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Town Creek, Hillers Creek, and the Cason Branch, which carve through the terrain between established rural communities like Dixie. Small residential developments and artificial water bodies such as Lake Mykee Town, Meadow Brook Lake, and Dogwood Acres Lake illustrate the transition from traditional agricultural land to suburban settlement patterns.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and burial sites. From the Providence Cemetery in the north to the Stokes Cemetery near the southern edge, over a dozen distinct cemeteries are preserved, including Knight Cemetery, Bush Cemetery, and Bull Cemetery. The map also identifies Camp Keown and numerous local transit corridors like Pioneer Trl, documenting the persistent human footprint across these Missouri hills.
