About this map

The settlement of Swiss serves as the focal point for this section of Gasconade County, situated at the junction of State Hwy F and State Hwy Z. The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Big Berger Cr and Clifty Cr, which carve through the terrain between small family-named water bodies like Eugene Moeckli Lake and Harry Sammons Lake. This 2021 survey illustrates a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous small burial grounds including Sanders Cem and Boesch Cem that reflect generations of local settlement.

To the east, the village of Stony Hill sits along Stony Hill Rd, anchoring the map's eastern edge. The network of secondary routes, such as Kattlemann Rd and Diebal Rd, connects dispersed farms and homesteads to the primary state highways. This modern record preserves the locations of numerous historic cemeteries, including Kahle Cem and Mann Cem, which are essential for genealogists tracing family lineages in this Missouri hinterland.
