About this map

Sebree anchors the southern edge of this Howard County landscape, where the meandering course of Moniteau Cr meets the mouth of Hunters Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek branches and forks, including the evocatively named Hungry Mother Cr and Lick Fork, which carve through the rural countryside. Small community clusters like Burton, Bunker Hill, and Punkin Center are connected by a web of county roads such as Highway BB and CR-120.

Genealogists will find this 2014 survey particularly valuable for its extensive documentation of family and local burial sites. Nearly twenty cemeteries are recorded across the quadrangle, from the northern Williams Cemetery and Guren Cemetery down to the Barnes Cemetery near the southern border. Many of these sites, such as Mount Nebo Cemetery and Smith Cemetery, serve as the primary markers for historical family settlements in this section of central Missouri.
