About this map

Pilot Grove serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, where the Katy Trl follows the historic rail corridor south toward Pleasant Green. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Skull Cr, Chouteau Cr, and the winding Lamine River in the southwest. Small settlements like Harriston and Hoffman are positioned along the local road system, which includes the well-traveled Georgetown Dr.

Genealogical interest is centered around the Saint Joseph Cemetery near the northern border and the Mount Vernon Cemetery further south. The map illustrates a shift from the more developed corridor near Pilot Grove to the rural expanses around New Lebanon, where creeks such as Murphy Cr and Petite Saline Cr drain the eastern hills. The transition from agricultural uplands to the river bottomlands highlights the importance of drainage and transport in this part of Cooper County.
