About this map

Blackwater and Pilot Grove anchor this agricultural landscape in central Missouri, where the meandering courses of the Blackwater River and Lamine River converge. The topography is defined by the alluvial floodplains of the Lamine River, which winds through central Cooper County past prominent landmarks like Slaughterhouse Bend and Roberts Bluff. The map reveals a high concentration of river crossings essential for local transit, including Dicks Bridge, Roberts Bluff Bridge, and the Bryant Bottom Bridge near the confluence with Salt Br.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, such as the Old Lamine Cemetery and Saint Martin Cemetery near the community of Chouteau Springs. The rural infrastructure is well-documented, showing a network of established roads like Arrow Rock Rd and Chouteau Springs Dr that connect these small townships. This modern survey reflects the enduring pattern of Missouri river-valley settlement, maintaining the place names of its 19th-century foundations.
