About this map

Jefferson City sits at a strategic bend where the Missouri River meets the Osage River, a landscape defined by the convergence of these major waterways and the rolling ridges of Callaway Co and Cole Co. The area reflects a deep-rooted Missouri settlement pattern, with smaller communities like Taos and Schubert positioned on the uplands while the historic rail corridor of the Katy Trl follows the northern bank of the Missouri.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including the Osage City Cem and Saint Xaviers Cem, alongside family-named landmarks like Thorp Cem and Link Cem. The map captures the industrial and agricultural interface near the capital, showing the path of the Moreau River as it feeds into the Missouri. This modern data includes numerous small lakes and creeks, such as Forest Lake and Rising Creek, providing a detailed view of the water drainage and land use in this central Missouri river valley.
