2012 Map of Tulip

About this map

The small communities of Tulip and Saling anchor this rural landscape in northern Missouri, where a complex network of county roads organizes the agricultural terrain. The drainage of Long Branch and its tributaries, including Bee Branch and Scattering Branch, defines the local topography, creating a series of wooded corridors through the open fields. In the southern portion of the area, local water management is highlighted by features such as Cedarlane Farms Lake and Larrabee Lake, both supported by small-scale dams like the Harry Freeman Dam. The map reflects a classic Midwestern township pattern, with farmsteads connected by thoroughfares such as Audrain Road 132 and Co Rd-148. The presence of several named impoundments, including the Sims Lake Dam and Deal Lake Dam, suggests the importance of water conservation and private recreation for the rural residences throughout this region.
