==Geography==
Jefferson City's official coordinates are 38°34’36”N 92°10’25”W. It lies mostly in northern Cole County, facing the south bank of the Missouri River, although a small portion of the city lies north of the river in Callaway County. This part consists mostly of flood-prone farmland and is largely uninhabited, though it does include some important facilities such as the Jefferson City Memorial Airport, the water treatment plant, and a recreation area.
Apart from a narrow low-lying plain along the riverbank, the ground slopes sharply upward south of the Missouri, protecting most of the central city from flooding. More recently annexed portions have incorporated small tributaries of the Missouri, such as the Moreau River to the east, and Gray's Creek to the northwest.
The city has a total area of 37.573 square miles, including 35.947 of land and 1.626 of water.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120702145235/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt</ref> Part of the northern transition region for the Ozarks, it includes many steep hills and valleys, and thus a wide range in local elevation. The lowest point is about 525 feet above sea level along the Missouri River, and the highest point is about 840 feet, near the intersection of U.S. Route 54 and Ellis Boulevard to the southwest.<ref>https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=22225</ref>
