About this map

Chouteau Springs and the winding course of the Blackwater River define this rural landscape in Cooper County. The terrain is a complex network of creeks and river bottoms, where the Lamine River and Chouteau Creek converge amidst rolling topography. The settlement pattern is anchored by the small communities of Blackwater, Lamine, and the northern edge of Pilot Grove, connected by a web of local routes like State Hwy M and Bryant Bottom Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Old Lamine Cem, Herridon Cem, and Saint Martins Cem. The importance of river crossings to the local economy and travel is evidenced by landmarks such as Dicks Bridge and Bryant Bottom Bridge. From the unique bend at Slaughterhouse Bend to the elevation of Roberts Bluff, the map provides a precise record of the natural and man-made features that have shaped this Missouri river-valley region.
