About this map

Bosworth serves as the primary hub of this north-central Missouri landscape, situated at the junction of Mo-M and S Kansas Ave. The township's grid and surrounding section lines reflect the organized agricultural legacy of the region, where the Grand River snakes along the eastern boundary, dividing Carroll and Chariton counties. This riverine border creates a complex drainage system characterized by numerous tributaries such as Parker Br, Snow Br, and Big Cr.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including Union Cemetery, Wharton Cemetery, and Pleasant Park Cemetery. To the west, the smaller settlement of Milford sits near the banks of Big Cr, while the northeastern corner is defined by the winding course of Potter Slough. The intricate network of county roads, such as CR-190 and CR-341, connects these scattered farmsteads and points of interest across the township's varied terrain.
