About this map

Missouri River currents dominate the northern landscape of this region, shaping several prominent landforms including Saint Johns Island, Miller Island, and Watkins Island. The city of Washington serves as the primary hub, where local infrastructure is marked by landmarks such as the Washington Main Post Office and the Washington Water Tower. South of the river, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Saint Johns Creek and Busch Creek, which drain the undulating countryside near the communities of Fourmile Corner and Clover Bottom.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of community burial sites, including Saint Francis Borgia Cemetery, Lutheran Cemetery, and the Wildey Cemetery. The settlement at Dundee sits near the western edge of the map, while the unusual Lost Umlaut Farm Airport occupies the northern flats across the river. This survey effectively details the transition from the dense street grids of downtown Washington to the rural reaches of Saint Anns Road and Highway KK.
