About this map

Sullivan and Bourbon anchor this 2017 survey of the Missouri Ozark foothills, where the plateau begins its descent toward the Meramec River valley. The map documents a corridor of growth along the interstate, connecting West Sullivan, Saint Cloud, and Oak Grove Village. For genealogists, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with local burial sites including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Memorial Cem, Finney Cem, and Rock Cem near the river bluffs.

The landscape is defined by deep drainage patterns like Wildcat Hollow and Pump Hollow, which cut through the limestone terrain to reach the southern bends of the Meramec River. Notable landmarks like the Sullivan Regional Airport and Mineral Hill provide a sense of the modern local economy and geography. From the settlement at Elmont in the northwest to the complex riverine system of Blue Springs Creek in the south, the map illustrates the transition from upland farming to the diverse topography of the river basin.
