About this map

Stoutland straddles the boundary between Camden and Laclede Counties, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape in south-central Missouri. The BNSF Railway cuts a prominent path through the southern half of the quadrangle, passing through the small community of Sleeper and tracking eastward toward Delmar. This rail corridor remains a vital piece of the region's infrastructure, following the natural contours of the land above the winding watercourses.

The area is characterized by an extensive network of creeks and hollows, including Dry Auglaize Cr and Shakerag Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds. Significant sites like Hillhouse Cemetery, Lomax Cemetery, and Honey Cemetery are scattered throughout the hills, providing a window into the settlement patterns and family lineages that have defined these rural townships for generations.
