About this map

Tipton and Syracuse anchor this central Missouri landscape where three counties — Cooper, Morgan, and Moniteau — converge. The map shows a region defined by its creek valleys and a dense network of family-named roads like Nelson Farm Rd and Klein Farm Rd. The topography is marked by significant waterways, including Petite Saline Cr and Moniteau Cr, which drain the rolling terrain between the settlements.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the rural townships, including Chilton Cemetery, Hopewell Cemetery, Woods Cemetery, and Gallagher Cemetery. The transition from the rural roads like Old Twelve Rd to the more structured grid of Tipton illustrates the long-standing role of these towns as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural community during the early twenty-first century.
