About this map

Allendale and Denver anchor this northern Missouri landscape, situated near the boundary between Worth and Gentry counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Grand River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Lotts Creek, Big Rock Creek, and Wharton Branch. This network of waterways historically shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural development of the region, evident in the placement of small communities and family-named landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of preserved burial grounds across the hills, including Kirk Cemetery, Allendale Cemetery, and the Prairie Chapel Cemetery. Local elevation reaches a peak at Mount Waller in the northwest, while the southeastern corner is marked by Bea Dunfee Lake and the drainage of Martin Branch. The map captures a rural interior connected by a grid of county roads and state highways that follow the ridges above the river bottoms.
