About this map

Bloomington stands as a focal point in this Macon County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Town Cr. The area is characterized by the expansive waters of Long Br Lake, which dominate the eastern portion of the sheet and cover what were once likely agricultural valley floors. The presence of numerous burial grounds, such as the Richards Dale Cemetery, Saint Charles Cemetery, and East Oakwood Cemetery clustered near the southern boundary, suggests a long-settled community with deep genealogical roots.

The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Middle Fork Little Chariton River and its tributaries, including Sweezer Cr and Camp Br. These waterways cut through the countryside, influencing the layout of local roads like Old Highway 36. Notable landmarks for researchers include the Milam Chapel Cemetery and Skinner Cemetery, which provide markers of local heritage across the rolling Missouri landscape north of Macon.
