2017 Map of Utica East

About this map

Blue Mound rises as a prominent landmark in the southern reaches of this landscape, surrounded by a network of rural cemeteries that speak to the long-standing family settlements of Livingston County. Small burial grounds like Blue Mound Cem, Welsh Cem, and Christian Cem are scattered across the rolling hills between the drainages of Shoal Creek and the Grand River. In the northwest corner, the village of Utica sits near the confluence of local waterways, while several small reservoirs such as Englert Lake and Monohame Lake are tucked into the drainages of Brush Cr and Wolf Grove Cr. The map details a transition from the wider river bottoms of Wolf Cr and Shoal Cr in the north to the more dissected upland terrain toward the south, providing a clear record of the intersection between established homesteads and the natural drainage patterns of the Missouri interior.
