1984 Map of Utica West

About this map

Mooresville and Utica anchor the northern landscape of this Missouri territory, where the topography transitions from the northern uplands down toward the broad floodplain of Shoal Creek. The river system defines the southern half of the map, with Mud Creek, Clear Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek draining into the main channel. Settlement patterns follow the rail lines and higher ground, notably at Dawn and Ludlow, while Dawn Station suggests a specific rail-oriented historical development. Significant elevation markers like Shale Hill in the north and the prominent Blue Mound in the southeast provide a sense of the undulating terrain. Several unnamed Cem sites are noted near the townships, offering valuable points of reference for genealogical research in Livingston County during the early 1980s.
