About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping path through this portion of Missouri, marking the boundary between Chariton and Saline Counties. This landscape is defined by the hydrologic history of the river, evident in prominent features like Grand River Bend and the aptly named Bushwhacker Bend. To the north, Cut-Off Lake and the meandering Palmer Cr signify old river channels that have shifted over time, creating a rich bottomland environment and distinct drainage patterns for smaller tributaries such as Graves Cr and Edmondson Cr.

New Frankfort serves as the primary settlement on this sheet, surrounded by several sites of genealogical significance. Researchers can locate the New Frankfort Cemetery, High Hill Cemetery, and Sleyster Cemetery, which are spaced across the rural landscape. The map's grid of local roads, including Keytes Landing Rd and Val Verde Ave, provides a detailed look at land division and access in this riverfront region.
