2015 Map of Valley Ridge

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises as a distinct geological spine through the center of this Missouri landscape, creating a dramatic contrast to the low-lying agricultural plains of the Mississippi Embayment. This elevated landform anchors several small communities, including Bethany, Valley Ridge, and Campbell, where the terrain begins to flatten toward the south. The area is marked by a high density of rural burial sites, such as Vincent Cemetery, Snider Cemetery, and Four Mile Cemetery, which often suggest the locations of earlier pioneer church sites and family homesteads.
