About this map

Petersburg anchors the northern portion of this Boone County landscape, situated where the local road network converges around the Petersburg Post Office. The town’s history and community heritage are anchored by Saint Johns Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery to the west, providing clear markers for genealogical research. To the south, the settlement of Loretto marks a secondary point of activity near the map's southern border.

The topography is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek, which meanders through the western and southern sections of the quadrangle. Agricultural infrastructure and water management are evident at Spieker Dam and along Rae Creek. This digital-era survey illustrates the rural character of the region, where section-line roads like Co RD-14 and Co RD-210 frame a landscape of steady agricultural production and small-town continuity.
