2017 Map of Vandalia Lake

About this map

Vandalia Lake and Elmer Foree Lake sit within a landscape defined by the drainage of the W Fork Cuivre River and its various tributaries. This 2017 survey shows the agricultural character of the region on the border of Audrain and Montgomery counties. The rural road network, including State Hwy AA and Hwy K, connects dispersed farmsteads and points of local historical significance. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites recorded, including New Providence Cem, Edwards Cem, and Fike Cem, providing a direct link to the families who settled this part of Missouri. The map also traces the winding paths of Bear Slough and Hickory Cr, illustrating how the waterway systems influenced the development and boundaries of the surrounding townships.
