2012 Map of Vandalia

About this map

The city of Vandalia serves as the primary hub of this eastern Missouri landscape, where a grid of rural routes like Audrain Road 548 and Highway WW connects family farms and local landmarks. The area's agricultural and social foundations are evidenced by sites such as the Elm Grove School and the New Harmony Cemetery to the east. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible through numerous private and public reservoirs, including the Weldon H. "Pete" Steiner Reservoir and Kohl Lake North. Small-scale aviation facilities like the Goodpasture Airstrip and Vandalia Airpark indicate the practical transport needs of this spread-out community. From the northern reaches of Spring Dale to the winding course of Indian Creek, the map details a region defined by its creeks, such as Spencer Creek and Shady Creek, which carve through the productive Audrain County countryside.
