2021 Map of Saline City

About this map

Saline City sits at a strategic point near the southern bends of the Missouri River in this survey of Central Missouri. The landscape is defined by the heavy meanders of the river, which carves distinct landmarks like Fish Creek Bend and Euphrate Bend. On the western bluffs, the settlement of Gilliam serves as a local hub, while the lowlands are punctuated by smaller water bodies like Slater Pond and Turtle Lake. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites including Sappington Grove Cem and All Saints Cem, which provide significant value for genealogists tracing family histories in Saline and Howard counties. The river itself is a complex network of named reaches and bars, such as Bluff Port Reach and Cambridge Bend, illustrating the fluid nature of the county boundaries that shift along the river's channel.
