About this map

Rosebud and the crossroads of Drake anchor this agricultural landscape in Gasconade County, Missouri. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community organized around family-named roads such as Brandhorst Rd, Liesemeyer Rd, and Aufderheide Rd, reflecting generations of local land stewardship. Waterways like Boeuf Creek and Soap Creek define the drainage of the area, punctuated by man-made features like the Dairy Vally Reservoir and Fishing Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several burial grounds, including Zoar Cemetery in the northwest and Georgetown Cemetery to the east. The presence of Wiffenberg and various rural school routes, such as Drake School Rd and Lone Grove School Rd, illustrates the historic social geography of the region, where small hamlets and local districts formed the backbone of county life.
