About this map

Piedmont serves as the central hub in this Missouri landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital watercourses including McKenzie Creek and Goose Creek. To the north, the small community of Gads Hill marks a point of historical interest, while the Virginia Settlement lies to the east along Clark Creek. The region is defined by a series of prominent elevations, such as Chlore Mountain, Grassy Mountain, and the Finleys Mountains, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Canyon Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can find several family-named burial grounds throughout the area, including the Diesel-Moore Cemetery, Anderson Cemetery, and Ruble Cemetery. Further south, the town of Beckville and the Piedmont Municipal Airport show the continued development of the area's infrastructure. Notable natural features like the Lon Sanders Canyon and Peach Tree Spring illustrate the varied drainage patterns and geologic character of this part of Wayne County.
