About this map

The Osage River meanders across the northern boundary of this western Missouri landscape, defining a terrain of river bluffs and bottomlands including Rock House Bluff and the oxbow waters of Horseshoe Lake. The area is characterized by small rural settlements and crossroads that straddle the St. Clair and Cedar county line. The community of Tiffin sits at the center of a network of secondary roads, while Cedar Springs and Lebeck occupy the southern portion of the sheet.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family and community landmarks, particularly country churches like Union Point Ch and Speedwell Ch, alongside several burial grounds such as Kennerly Cem and Preston Cem. The drainage patterns of Clear Creek and Simms Creek illustrate the natural irrigation that supported the agricultural townships of Speedwell and Box during this era of rural development.
