About this map

The Cuivre River winds through the heart of Lincoln County, defining the rural character of this region during the early 1970s. The city of Troy serves as the primary hub, showing significant infrastructure like Water Tanks and its position along the Burlington Northern line. Just to the south, Moscow Mills sits near the riverbanks, illustrating the historical relationship between these early Missouri settlements and their local waterways.

A notable portion of the northeastern landscape is dedicated to Cuivre River State Park, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with markers of early community life, including Sand Run Ch and several family burying grounds like Bray Cem. An Old Railroad Grade can be seen tracking east of Moscow Mills, tracing a path no longer in primary service. The convergence of numerous tributaries such as Big Creek, Crooked Creek, and Sugar Creek highlights the intricate drainage basin that shaped the development of Bedford and Clark townships.
