2021 Map of Bolckow NW

About this map

The boundary between Nodaway Co and Andrew Co cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, defining a rural expanse dominated by a dense network of drainage systems. Waterways like Jenkins Cr, White Cloud Cr, and Arapahoe Cr have etched a complex series of ridges and valleys into the Missouri terrain. This topographic structure influenced the placement of the section-line road network, including arterial routes like State Hwy H and Fortune Rd. Genealogists and local historians can find family markers at Shamberger Cem in the west and Litts Cem near the eastern edge, both situated on elevated ground above the surrounding creek basins. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where the placement of cemeteries and roads remains deeply tied to the natural hydrology of the E Fork Jenkins Cr and Newland Cr watersheds.
