2012 Map of Argo

About this map

The small community of Japan sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Little Bourbeuse River and Boone Creek define the drainage of Crawford County. This interior section of Missouri is characterized by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Japan Cemetery, Martin Cemetery, and BooneCreekCemetery. The settlement of Argo serves as a central point for a network of rural routes like Argo Rd and Fann Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts. Water features such as Nolie Lake South and Holmstrom North Lake provide distinct landmarks among the winding creek branches. Further south, the map traces the area around Delhi, illustrating a transition toward the primary regional corridors. The map provides a clear record of local land use, from the residential clusters at Argo to the various named cemeteries like Garrett Cemetery and Hodges Cemetery that document the region's genealogical history.
