About this map

Brimson anchors the southwestern portion of this Grundy County landscape, where the Thompson River and its multiple former courses, including the Old Channel Thompson River, dominate the riverine topography. The map illustrates a complex drainage system featuring Middle Cr, Muddy Cr, and Lost Cr, highlighting the hydrologic character of the region. Small agricultural settlements and community hubs like Buttsville, Shott, and Parkerton are distributed across the township lines of T62N and T63N.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous rural burial sites and churches that define the area's social history. These include Wills Chapel Cemetery, Hatton Chapel Cemetery, and Salem North Cemetery, along with family-named locations such as Griffin Cemetery and Sires Cemetery. The presence of Trenton Lake and Dolan Lake further emphasizes the importance of water management and local landmarks in this central Missouri corridor near the Weldon River.
