Blackwater sounds like the name of a town in the old west. Found just off I-70 is the town of Blackwater MO. It was founded in 1887 after the Missouri Pacific Railroad needed a coal refilling station between Jefferson City and Kansas City. They built a replica of the 1887 depot. An interesting place to visit. https://www.blackwatermissouri.com/

A case of cabin fever called for a road trip to find this old depot.
Iowa and St. Louis (later CB&Q) Railroad depot at South Gifford, MO. The I&STL was in existence from 1903-1947 between Sedan, IA and Mercyville, MO (just east of Elmer). The line between South Gifford and Mercyville was abandoned on 1936. In 1942, the line was abandoned north of South Gifford towards Youngstown. https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/wm13MG0_Iowa_and_St_Louis_South_Gifford_MO
