About this map

Blackwater River and Lamine River converge in this section of Cooper County, creating a landscape defined by sharp oxbows and fertile bottoms like Slaughterhouse Bend. The town of Blackwater sits at the northwestern edge, while the southern reaches transition toward Pilot Grove. Transportation history is visible through the Union Pacific rail line and several critical crossings such as Dicks Bridge and Bryant Bottom Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved across the rural townships, including Old Lamine Cem, Herndon Cem, and Saint Martin Cem near Chouteau Springs. The map also captures several small water bodies such as Widel Lake and Wilson Lake, situated among a dense network of county roads including Arrow Rock Rd and Bryant Bottom Rd. This documentation provides a clear view of the area's modern land divisions and rural community centers before further 21st-century development.
