About this map

The Salt Fork and Hungry Mother Cr define the drainage patterns of this Howard County landscape, where small rural crossroads like Burton and Bunker Hill anchor the local community. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including Mount Nebo Cem, Thompson Cem, and Jackson Cem, providing a clear map of local genealogy and historic land ownership.

Transport is dictated by a network of state and county roads, such as State Hwy H and State Hwy O, which navigate the various branches and creeks. Named water features like Lyle Br, Cole Cr, and Sugar Tree Br feed into the larger Moniteau Cr system in the south near Sebree. These watercourses historically influenced the placement of early homesteads and the development of local settlements like Punkin Center.
