About this map

The Missouri River carves a significant bend through this landscape, separating the structured street grid of Washington from the expansive agricultural lowlands of Hancock Bottom. This 2017 survey shows the city's eastern expansion along the southern bank, where residential developments like those on Rabbit Trail Dr and Lake View Dr meet the natural course of Dubois Cr. The map captures a transition from the urban core to rural communities, with the river serveing as a natural border between Franklin, Warren, and St. Charles counties.

Local landmarks such as Washington Regional Airport and the Saint Peters Cem provide historical and modern touchstones for researchers. North of the river, the landscape rises into rolling hills dotted with private lakes like Schulthhenrich Lake and Hoblitzell Lake. Small settlements such as Dutzow, Nona, and Augusta remain anchored by the local road network, while the floodplain at Hinckley Bend illustrates the enduring impact of the river's hydrology on regional land use.
