Mapping the Boone's Lick Road Mapping the Boone's Lick Road
In this monograph, David P. Sapp outlines his process and documents the evidence for a detailed map of the early Boone’s Lick Road and its variations across east central Missouri in the 1820s. His book is primarily about providing evidence for mapping the road including topography, older maps, gazetteers, surveys and land deeds, town plats, history books, remaining visible sections, newspaper articles and journals. It is not intended as a history, nor an attempt to tell the colorful stories. Rather, his book is meant to accompany a Google map detailing the road. Self published, October 2018.
