About this map

Otterville and Syracuse anchor this rural landscape in central Missouri, where the terrain is deeply carved by the serpentine Lamine River and its numerous tributaries. The map details a complex hydrologic network including Richland Creek, Flat Creek, and Petite Saline Cr, which define the drainage patterns across the Cooper and Morgan county line. For those researching local history, the placement of Shackleford Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and the Finley - Dinwiddie Family Cemetery provides specific locations for ancestral study.

Transportation corridors like Old Route 50 and Washington Rd bisect the rolling topography, connecting isolated farmsteads and rural crossroads. The transition between the high ground near Syracuse and the lower river valleys showcases the area's agricultural character. This 2015 edition documents the persistent rural infrastructure of the region, from family burial grounds to the enduring creek crossings that have shaped local travel for generations.
