2011 Map of Saint Elizabeth

About this map

The Osage River carves a winding path through this portion of Miller County, defining the local geography around the rural settlements of Saint Elizabeth and Marys Home. At this point in the early 21st century, the landscape is a network of small watercourses like Little Tavern Creek and Cub Creek that feed into the main river channel. Local history and family lineages are anchored at Jenkins Cemetery and the village of Henley, which sits near Henley Lake. The map details a transition from river-bottom land, including Jones Island, to the higher ground connected by historic routes such as Capps Ferry Rd and Old 10 Mile Rd. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where naming conventions like Lousy Creek and Turkey Creek reflect a long-standing relationship with the Missouri backcountry.
