About this map

Saint Patrick and Antioch anchor this rural Missouri landscape, where the Wyaconda River and its tributary, the Little Wyaconda River, carve through the Clark County countryside. The terrain is marked by a high density of small family or community burial grounds, including the Honey Creek Cemetery, Sisson Cemetery, and Cowgill Cemetery, which speak to the long-established agricultural settlement of the region.

Water management is evident in the southeastern corner near the confluence of local streams, featuring structures like the Rossi Lake Dam and Buschling Lake Dam. The drainage patterns of Honey Creek and Sugar Creek illustrate the natural irrigation that sustained these farming communities into the early 21st century. For local historians, the proximity of the Saint Patrick Cemetery to the primary townsite offers a clear view of the area's social and geographic center.
