About this map

The Gasconade River winds through this central Missouri landscape, shaping the development of rural Gasconade County. The river’s influence is evident in the historical river crossings such as Feigler Ferry and Krueger Ford, alongside prominent topographical features like Church Bluff and Turnpike Bluff. Small settlements like Pershing, Bay, and Brown Shanty dot the uplands, connected by a network of local roads named for early families.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds including Baecker Cemetery, Eikerman Cemetery, and Saint Pauls Cemetery. The map captures the hydrological complexity of the region, featuring numerous tributaries such as First Cr, Second Creek, and Brushy Fork. These waterways and landmarks provide a detailed look at the rural Missouri river-country at the start of the 21st century.
