About this map

Middle Fork Little Chariton River and its numerous tributaries, including Huckleberry Cr and Richland Cr, carve a intricate drainage pattern through this section of Macon County. The landscape is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Quail Trap Cem, Murry Cem, and Steel Cem, which offer significant touchstones for genealogical research in this rural corridor. Small settlements like Barnesville and Plainview serve as local hubs, connected by a network of state and county roads including State Hwy J and State Hwy O.

The presence of Shorten Airfield and the smaller enclave of Happy Hollow illustrate the dispersed nature of local infrastructure. To the east, the E Fork Little Chariton River and the secluded George Baake Lake further define the water-rich geography. The map reveals how the modern road system, including named routes like Hornet St and Hammer Rd, follows the ridges between these many creek valleys.
