2017 Map of Perry

About this map

The city of Perry serves as the primary hub in this southwest corner of Ralls County, where the landscape is defined by the transition from agricultural plateaus to the intricate shoreline of Mark Twain Lake. The northern reaches of the map are dominated by the multi-lobed reservoir, which has transformed the valleys of Pigeon Roost Cr and Ely Br into expansive aquatic recreation areas. This 2017 survey details a region where modern infrastructure, like the Wood-Acres Airport, coexists with long-established rural foundations. Numerous burial grounds, including the Old Mount Prairie Cem and Scobee Cem, are scattered across the township lines of t54n r8w and t54n r7w, anchoring the genealogy of the area to its 19th-century pioneers. The drainage network remains vital to the local geography, with Lick Creek and its various branches like West Lick Creek and East Lick Creek carving through the terrain south of the main settlement.
