About this map

The Bourbeuse River snakes through this Missouri landscape, defining the rural character of Gasconade, Crawford, and Phelps counties. Several historic crossing points remain as named landmarks, including Glaser Ford, Arthur Spring Ford, and Sewell Ford, indicating where travel once relied on seasonal water levels. The settlement at Redbird serves as a central point in a topography marked by numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as the Smith Cem, Sorrell Cem, and the Eldredge McMullin Cem.

Tracing the country roads reveals a network of homesteads and small communities like Jake Prairie and Royal. Religious life is anchored by sites like the LeDuc United Methodist Church Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by a drainage system comprising Grogier Cr, Price Cr, and Lanes Fork, which feed into the primary river valley. This map provides a detailed view of the local land-use patterns, from the remote reaches of Big River Cr to the lake at Fritz Pueschel Lake.
