About this map

The Missouri River defines the landscape of this 1970s survey, marking the jagged boundary where Saline, Howard, and Chariton counties meet. The river's winding course is flanked by significant alluvial features like Epperson Island and several drainage systems including Chocolate Creek and Fish Creek. Along the northern bluffs, the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad cuts a path through the terrain, connecting the settlement of Gilliam with West Glasgow near the river's edge.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites and houses of worship scattered across the townships of Clay and Boons Lick. Landmarks such as Sappington Cem, All Saints Cem, and the St Paul Ch complex provide specific points of interest for family research. The map also records early industrial activity through various Quarry locations and the presence of Saline City situated near the confluence of Fleche Creek.
