2012 Map of Sturgeon

About this map

The settlement of Sturgeon sits at a historic crossroads in northern Missouri, where a concentrated grid of streets meets the surrounding agricultural landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates a region defined by its numerous small-scale reservoirs and dams, such as David Bailey Lake and Bumgarner Lake Section 3 Dam, which managed the local hydrology of the Silver Fork and Grindstone Branch. To the west, the community of Riggs remains a distinct geographic point near Mount Carmel Cemetery, while the northern village of Bourbon serves as another focal point for the surrounding rural roads. The southern portion of the area is anchored by a significant natural feature known as The Pinnacles, located near the confluence of Kelley Branch and the Silver Fork. This map serves as an essential record for those studying the genealogical history of Boone County, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds including Palmer Cemetery and Mount Horeb Cemetery.
