2014 Map of Woodlawn

About this map

Woodlawn sits at the heart of this rural Missouri landscape, marking a transition between the northern agricultural uplands and the southern river bottoms. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Salt River, which is fed by numerous smaller tributaries including Flat Cr, Mud Cr, and Big Br. This network of waterways has long dictated the layout of the local road system, which follows the ridgelines and section lines of the township and range survey. The presence of several family or community burial grounds, such as Atterberry Cemetery, Forest Grove Cemetery, and Milner Cemetery, provides a record of the long-standing settlement patterns in this part of Monroe County. The map also captures the Shelby Co Monroe Co line, illustrating the administrative boundaries that intersect the rolling prairies and timbered creek bottoms of north-central Missouri.
