About this map

Woodlandville and New Providence anchor this mid-Missouri landscape where the rolling hills of Boone County meet the borders of Howard and Moniteau. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, with Perche Creek and Callahan Creek draining the central terrain, while Silver Fork and Slacks Branch wind through the eastern reaches. The cultural geography is preserved through numerous rural institutions, including Bethlehem Ch, Red Rock Ch, and Hatton Chapel.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible in the Strip Mine located near the eastern edge and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern sections. Genealogists can identify family-named landmarks and burial grounds such as Botner Cem and Dripping Spring Cem. This 1960s-era survey captures the transition of the countryside before modern development, recording a time when small community centers and country roads formed the primary structure of the region.
