2012 Map of Vandalia Lake

About this map

Culiver and Rices Corner anchor this rural landscape in Audrain County, reflecting the agricultural and hydrological character of northeast Missouri in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the West Fork Cuivre River and its tributaries, including Hickory Creek and Lost Creek. Water management is a visible priority, seen in the presence of Vandalia Community Lake, Elmer Force Lake, and Fred Wehzel Lake, which serve as significant local landmarks. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, such as New Providence Cemetery, Edwards Cemetery, and Fike Cemetery, often situated near historical crossroads or watercourses. The dense network of county roads, such as Audrain Road 532 and Audrain Road 565, illustrates a structured rural grid that has persisted through decades of land use, connecting these remote settlements and family landmarks.
