2012 Map of Rowena

About this map

Rowena anchors this agricultural landscape in Audrain County, where a complex network of county roads like Audrain Road 209 and Audrain Road 248 dissects the Missouri prairie. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage system where Youngs Creek, Goodwater Creek, and Long Branch move through the central and northern sections. The map reveals a specific pattern of land use centered on private water management, evidenced by numerous named earthen structures such as the Sprock Farms Incorporated Lake Dam, Donaldson Lake Dam, and Sudbrock Lake Dam. These landmarks, often tied to local family names like Henry or Cook, provide a detailed look at the rural infrastructure required to support the region's farming economy in the early 21st century.
