About this map

The town of Arbela serves as the primary settlement in this northeast Missouri landscape, situated near the headwaters of several significant drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the S Wyaconda River to the north and the North Fabius River to the southwest, with an intricate network of smaller tributaries like Allen Cr and Bear Cr carving through the countryside. This 2015 survey reveals a rural landscape deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Conyers Cemetery, Hickory Grove Cemetery, and Union Cemetery.

Transport and utility in the region are represented by the small Howard Airport and a grid of rural routes such as Chancellor Rd and Tavern Rd. Of particular interest to those studying local hydrology is the Old Channel South Wyaconda River, which shows the natural or engineered shifts in the river's path over time. The map also documents the transition between sections, including the boundary of t65n r11w and t65n r10w.
