About this map

The unincorporated community of Chapel Hill serves as a central anchor in this Missouri landscape, situated where the drainages of the South Fork Blackwater River and North Fork Blackwater River begin their eastward journey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Sni-A-Bar Creek and its tributary, East Fork Sni-A-Bar Creek. This hydrology shaped the early settlement patterns of the region, visible here through the placement of several family and community burial grounds.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-documented landmarks, including Shore Cemetery, Hill Cemetery, and Cobb Cemetery. The map also illustrates the transition toward modern infrastructure with the inclusion of the Landing Strip south of Number 198 Reservoir and the rural crossroads of Hicks City. The area's road network, such as Highway TT and Colbern Road Ext, provides a clear view of how these historic settlements remained connected into the 21st century.
