Missouri Maps

University of Missouri Digital Library has digital copies of Missouri county plat books for all Missouri counties. The independant city of St. Louis is not included in this collection.

Atlases that can aid your research in Missouri are:


 * Campbell, Robert Allen. Campbell's New Atlas of Missouri. St. Louis, Missouri: N.p., n.d. (Family History Library .)
 * Rafferty, Milton D. Historical Atlas of Missouri. Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1981. (Family History Library ; .)
