About this map

The Middle Fork Salt River meanders southward through the center of this Missouri landscape, anchoring a rural topography defined by small drainages and scattered settlements. To the south, the city of Macon serves as a regional hub, with Macon Lake and the expansive Hillcrest Memorial Gardens marking its northern outskirts. The map reveals the distribution of historical hamlets such as Axtell and Kellogg, which remain linked by a grid of county roads and local routes like State Hwy DD.

Genealogists will find particular value in the several cemeteries documented across the terrain, including Kellogg Cem, Liberty Cem, Powell Cem, and Bellview Cem. These landmarks, along with the smaller tributaries like Brush Cr and Bee Br, reflect the long-standing agricultural and community patterns of Macon County. The transition from the rural northern townships to the more developed street plan of Macon captures the intersection of traditional farm life with more modern civic infrastructure.
