About this map

Missouri River currents dominate the eastern edge of this Missouri landscape, carving dramatic features like Euphrase Bend and Cambridge Bend. The settlement of Saline City sits near the southern bend of the river, while Gilliam is situated in the northwest, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Richland Creek and Fish Creek, which drain the uplands toward the river bottomlands.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, such as Gilliam Cemetery, All Saints Cemetery, and Sappington Cemetery. The map also illustrates the interface between counties, showing where the river separates Saline from Chariton and Howard. Unique landforms like Epperson Island and Bluff Port Reach highlight the shifting nature of the waterway's path through this fertile region.
