2012 Map of Oak Ridge

About this map

Old Appleton and Uniontown anchor the northern reaches of this Missouri landscape, where a dense network of local routes like Old School Rd and Little Apple Rd connects long-established farming communities. The terrain is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, with Apple Creek winding eastward through the center of the quadrangle. To the south, Shawneetown and New Wells occupy the transition toward the drainage basins of Muddy Shawnee Creek and Blue Shawnee Creek, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local watercourses. The inclusion of Oak Ridge Ridge and the outskirts of Pocahontas further demonstrates the regional connectivity of Cape Girardeau and Perry Counties during this early 21st-century period. This survey is particularly useful for researchers tracing family lands along named tributaries such as Buckeye Creek and Hughes Creek, where the rural road system has matured around the area's natural topography.
