About this map

Bethany serves as the regional anchor for this part of Harrison County, positioned where the East Fork Big Creek and West Fork Big Creek converge. The landscape is defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, featuring both the Bethany City Reservoir and the larger Bethany New City Reservoir to the north. These water bodies, along with smaller tributaries like Pecks Branch and Little Creek, reveal a terrain shaped by the needs of a rural Missouri community and its county seat.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved on this 2011 survey, including the Russ Cemetery, Phillebaum Cemetery, and Dale Cemetery. The presence of the Harrison County Farm and Bethany Memorial Airport reflects the area's mix of public service and transport history, while the detailed road network, from Co HWY-281 to local routes like Daily Rd, shows how the town has expanded around its traditional core near Big Creek.
