About this map

The Mississippi River forms a complex border between Missouri and Kentucky on this sheet, defining a landscape of chutes, bends, and blue hole lakes. Along the western banks in Mississippi County, small rural settlements like Deventer, Fuget, and Crosno sit atop the fertile ground of O'Bryan Ridge. The presence of O'Bryan Cemetery and Travis Cemetery offers specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this flood-prone river bottom region.

Water dominates the eastern half of the map, where the river's shifting path is marked by features such as Lucas Bend and Wolf Island Number 5. Interior drainage is managed by systems like Lateral Number 3, while landlocked water bodies including Nolen Bratcher Blue Hole Lake and Thirtyfour Corner Blue Hole sit behind the protection of Levee Rd. This modern survey details the local road network, from Mo-80 to the gravel routes reaching isolated corners like Thirtyfour Corner and Henson.
