About this map

The Missouri River carves a significant path through this portion of Saline County, defining the landscape with dramatic curves like Grand River Bend and Bushwhacker Bend. This 2012 survey illustrates the river's dynamic nature, showing the Cut-Off Lake and the managed infrastructure of Levee Unit Number L246 designed to control the seasonal shifts of the waterway. The small settlement of New Frankfort serves as a local anchor, situated near the intersection of several rural routes including Co Hwy 411 and Co Rd 108.

For those tracing family histories in the area, several burial grounds are clearly marked, including New Frankfort Cemetery, High Hill Cemetery, and Sleyster Cemetery. The surrounding agricultural lands are drained by a network of smaller streams such as Buck Creek, Edmondson Creek, and West Cow Creek, which flow toward the river. The map provides a precise look at the modern rural road grid that connects these disparate landmarks and family-named cemeteries.
