About this map

Burksville and Oakdale anchor this landscape in northeastern Missouri, where a complex network of tributaries feeds the N River. The area is defined by its rural road system, with numbered routes like Shelby 236 and Shelby 262 connecting scattered homesteads across the townships. One of the primary landmarks for local history is the Fairview Cemetery, located near the winding path of Black Creek.

Water plays a central role in the geography of this quadrangle, with numerous named branches and creeks cutting through the terrain. From the northern reaches near Rex Gard Lake and Looney Cr to the southern drainage of Oak Dale Br and Baker Br, the map reveals a deeply etched watershed. The distribution of these waterways and the placement of long-standing family cemeteries offer significant data for those studying the genealogical and settlement patterns of Shelby County.
