2015 Map of Washington East

About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping path through the landscape, separating the flat alluvial expanse of Hancock Bottom from the undulating terrain to the south. Along the northern bank, the Katy Trl follows the river corridor, passing through the historic river towns of Dutzow, Nona, and Augusta. This area is defined by its transition from the river valley to the upland ridges, where family-named landmarks like Vierkerding Lake and Schulthhenrich Lake suggest a long history of local land use. To the south, the city of Washington serves as a primary hub, its residential growth extending toward Saint Peters Cemetery and the Washington Regional Airport. The map also captures several smaller communities such as Boles and Three Creeks, while the John Sprague Reservoir and numerous smaller ponds and lakes like Sadler Lake punctuate the northern hills.
