2021 Map of Bynumville

About this map

The Chariton River meanders through the central and southern reaches of this landscape, its winding channel shaping the rural character of eastern Chariton County. The unincorporated settlement of Bynumville anchors the northern portion of the map, while Hamden and Musselfork mark other points of historical habitation in this agricultural corridor. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Fitzgerald Cem, Fairview Cem, and Pee Dee Cem, which are tucked away along the network of county roads. The terrain is defined by numerous drainage systems, such as Jones Br, Elm Br, and the various branches of Bee Branch, including E Bee Br and W Bee Br. Near the northwestern corner, Slaughter Airport stands out as a modern landmark amidst the traditional farmsteads and creek valleys that have long characterized this part of Missouri.
