2021 Map of Westphalia East

About this map

Westphalia and Rich Fountain anchor this Missouri landscape where the Maries River and numerous tributaries like Loose Cr and Indian Cr carve into the terrain. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of ridges and hollows, notably Pea Ridge and Brush Creek Hollow, which have shaped local settlement patterns and the winding path of modern roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including the Westphalia Catholic Cem, Van Buren Cem, and the Sacred Heart Cem near the eastern edge. Unique natural landmarks like the Anvil Rock Arch stand out among the family-named roads and rural infrastructure. The area is characterized by a mix of agricultural clearings on the high ground and dense drainage networks that feed into Lake Ditch and Luecke Lake.
