About this map

Albany serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, where the Gentry County Courthouse stands as a central landmark for the county seat. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Grand River, which joins the main Grand River south of Evona. This river valley and its numerous tributaries, such as Thompson Br and Boatright Br, dictate the settlement patterns and road networks that crisscross the region.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Shepherd Cem, Davidson Cem, and Sandville Cem. At the southern edge of the quadrangle, the community of Gentryville sits near the Gentryville Cem, reflecting the early rural development of Gentry County. Small crossroads like Whitten further illustrate the distribution of agricultural hamlets that have long characterized this part of Missouri.
