2015 Map of Wayland

About this map

The Des Moines River forms a winding natural border between Clark Co, Missouri, and the state of Iowa, defining the eastern edge of this 2015 survey. Along its banks, the settlement of Saint Francisville and the Saint Francisville Bridge mark a historical crossing point where the river meanders through the fertile bottomlands. Further south, the town of Wayland serves as a local hub, situated near the Fox River and the Wayland Bridge. The agricultural landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks, including the Oak Hill Cemetery and Wolf Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map also captures the smaller community of Vincennes in the north and the secluded Winter- Wood Lake to the west, illustrating a region shaped by its proximity to significant river systems and a network of rural roads like Argyle Rd.
