2012 Map of Standish

About this map

Standish and the outlying north-central reaches of Carrollton anchor this survey of the Missouri landscape in the early 2010s. The region is defined by a dense network of creek systems that drain the agricultural terrain, most notably the meandering paths of Shootman Creek and Big Creek. A grid of county roads, such as Co RD-305 and Co RD-200, connects scattered homesteads and provides access to the region's rural landmarks. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies significant sites like Saint Marys Cemetery and Pence Dam. The southern edge of the quadrangle shows the transition into more developed areas near Johnson Lake and the northern residential extensions of the county seat, while the interior remains a study in the persistence of small rural settlements and the intricate drainages of Little Wakenda Creek and Cottonwood Branch.
