About this map

The Lamine River and its numerous tributaries define the rural landscape of eastern Cooper County in this 2011 survey. Centered between the small towns of Otterville and Syracuse, the terrain is marked by a complex drainage system including Otter Creek, Flat Creek, and Richland Creek. This network of waterways historically influenced the placement of farms and cemeteries across the region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of local burial sites, such as Antioch Cemetery in the north and the Shackleford Cemetery further south. Near the southern edge of the map, the Finley - Dinwiddie Family Cemetery stands as a testament to the area's early family settlements. The map details the modern road network, ranging from major thoroughfares like Potters Ford Rd to local paths like Coopers Loop, illustrating the enduring spatial patterns of this Missouri agricultural community.
