About this map

Auxvasse Creek meanders through the heart of this mid-1970s landscape, a region defined by agricultural heritage and a burgeoning industrial footprint in central Missouri. Small settlements like Reform and Toledo anchor the community, surrounded by family landmarks and rural institutions such as the Church of God and Holiness Cem. The topography reveals the transition from the upland reaches of Nine Mile Prairie to the hollows of Maddox Hollow and Pace Hollow.

Evidence of the area's economic base is found in the numerous Claypit excavations scattered across the townships of East Fulton and Auxvasse. A striking modern addition to the landscape is the Atmospheric Test Tower located near Logan Creek, signaling a shift toward specialized technical infrastructure. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Old Salem Cem and Guerrant Cem, which provide a geographic record of the area's established families.
