About this map

The Missouri River carves a massive southern arc across this landscape, defining the rich alluvial flats of Hancock Bottom and the sharp turn at Hinckley Bend. North of the river, the terrain rises into the hills of St. Charles County, where the historic settlement of Augusta serves as a local hub, complete with its Augusta Post Office. The area is dotted with numerous private lakes and reservoirs, such as Schulthhenrich Lake and Hoblitzell Lake, reflecting a pattern of modern residential and recreational land use superimposed on older agricultural foundations.

South of the river, the landscape transitions toward the outskirts of Washington, featuring Saint Peters Cemetery and the Washington Memorial Airport. This 2012 survey captures a mix of rural heritage and developing suburban footprints, visible in the named subdivisions like Three Creeks Village and Nona Hts. Traces of earlier community infrastructure remain, such as the Ming School located near the southern bluffs.
