About this map

The Grand River and its intricate network of levees dominate this northern Missouri landscape, bordering the southwestern edge of Chillicothe. This 1980s-era survey reveals a river valley defined by extensive flood control and a patchwork of riparian terrain, including Roach Lake and the winding Leeper Branch. To the west, the settlement of Utica sits near the confluence of major tributaries like Shoal Creek and Wolf Creek.

Further south, the terrain rises toward the prominent elevation of Blue Mound, a namesake for both the local township and a small cluster of homes. Numerous smaller waterways such as Brush Creek and Mound Creek carve through the hills, while several cemeteries are scattered across the rural landscape, offering vital clues for genealogical research. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Radio Tower near the center of the sheet indicates the modest industrial and communication infrastructure serving Livingston County during this period.
