2015 Map of Rocheport

About this map

Rocheport sits at a strategic bend where the Missouri River meets the limestone heights of the Big Manitou Bluffs. This area reflects a long history of transit and settlement, from the river-level routes of the Katy Trl to the upland homesteads marked by the Schmidt Cemetery and Clayton Cemetery. The topography transitions from the wide, fertile bottomlands of the Overton Bottoms Trail to the dissected hills south of the river, where small communities like Overton and Wooldridge are situated near winding waterways like Petite Saline Creek. Local landmarks such as Gum Spring and Robinsons Lake highlight the importance of water sources in this rural landscape, while the township and range boundaries detail the underlying land division of central Missouri.
