About this map

The agricultural plains of western Henry County are defined by a network of north-flowing tributaries, including W Fork Tebo Cr and Sand Cr, which carve through the prairie landscape. The area is anchored by the historic settlement of Calhoun, situated at the eastern edge where the Katy Trl passes through. This recreational trail follows the route of the former Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad, cutting a diagonal path across the township through the small community of Lewis toward Clinton in the southwest.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous rural burying grounds such as Drakes Chapel Cem and Deer Creek Cem, reflecting the early 19th-century homesteading patterns of the region. The landscape is also marked by modern water management and conservation, seen in the presence of Number 111 Lake and O'Dell Lake, which sit alongside the traditional creek systems of Harrelson Cr and Nelson Cr.
