About this map

Santa Fe sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the South Fork Salt River and Elm Br converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Youngs Cr, Talleys Br, and Littleby Cr, which carve through the farmland of the Monroe and Audrain county line. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of early settlements and rural cemeteries, which remain key markers of the area's genealogical heritage.

Further south, the small community of Worcester is situated near the eastern boundary, connected to the surrounding countryside by a grid of county roads. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, such as the Eubank Cemetery, Rock Hill Cemetery, and Bean Creek Cemetery, the latter located near the banks of Bean Cr. The map details the transition from the upland ridges down to the creek bottoms of Hazel Cr and Wildcat Cr, illustrating the persistent rural character of this Missouri interior.
