2017 Map of Spencerburg

About this map

Spencerburg and Madisonville anchor this northern Missouri landscape, situated along the border of Ralls and Pike counties. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Spencer Creek, Crigler Br, and the Clifty Fork, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of local community life is visible in the placement of the Adiel Cem near the center of the quadrangle and the various small water bodies that dot the countryside, such as Neal Pond and Lewis Lake. Significant modern water management is represented by the Weldon H "Pete" Steiner Reservoir and the Vandalia Sportsman Club Lakes in the southern portion of the sheet. The map details a transition from established settlements to a rural infrastructure of county roads and state highways, reflecting the agricultural and recreational character of this region in the early twenty-first century.
