About this map

Rocheport and the surrounding river bluffs define this landscape where the Missouri River carves through the Northern Ozarks. The 2011 survey captures a transition between the historic riverfront settlement and the rural agricultural tracts of Boone and Cooper counties. The river's dramatic course is marked by the Rocheport Bends and Diana Bends, while Big Manitou Bluffs tower over the eastern bank.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Schmidt Cemetery near the river and Big Lick Cemetery further south. The map documents smaller communities such as Overton and Wooldridge, linked by a network of rural roads like Gooches Mill Rd and Cumberland Church Rd. Industrial history is represented by Gooch Mill along Cave Creek, while Taylor's Landing Access serves as a modern point of contact with the river that originally shaped the region's development.
