2012 Map of Sturgeon SW

About this map

Woodlandville serves as the central hub of this central Missouri landscape, where the rural character is defined by a dense network of country roads and agricultural water management systems. The hydrology of the region is notably modified by numerous containment structures such as the Callahan Creek Watershed Dam A-4 and the Boone County B-1-Dam, illustrating the 20th-century emphasis on flood control and watershed management in Boone County. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of local burial grounds including Botner Cemetery and Dripping Spring Cemetery. The terrain is deeply etched by a system of winding waterways, including Perche Creek and the Silver Fork, which dictate the placement of early travel routes like Richland School Rd and N Locust Grove Church Rd. This survey captures the transition of a traditional farming community as it maintained its traditional landmarks while integrating modern infrastructure like the local Landing Strip.
