2017 Map of Anson

About this map

The Fox River and Little Fox River dominate the landscape of this border region where Clark County, Missouri, meets Van Buren County, Iowa. The small village of Chambersburg serves as a local hub near the southern edge, while the settlement of Anson is situated further north along State Hwy CC. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Anderson Cem, Burrier Cem, and Saint Thomas Cem. The road network is a mix of state highways and named rural routes like Unicorn Ave and Reddud Ave, reflecting a persistent pattern of agricultural land divisions. In the southeastern corner, the Fehlhaber Bridge provides a crossing over the river, while smaller tributaries such as Mantle Br and Kaylor Br carve through the terrain, illustrating the intricate drainage system that defines the local topography.
