2017 Map of Chapel Hill

About this map

Chapel Hill serves as a central point in this Missouri landscape where the boundaries of Jackson, Lafayette, and Johnson counties meet. The area is defined by the headwaters of the Blackwater River, with the N Fork Blackwater River and S Fork Blackwater River carving through the terrain. To the northwest, the outskirts of Oak Grove and Bates City show modern development alongside older rural identifiers. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Shore Cem, Hill Cem, and Cobb Cem. The drainage patterns of Sni-A-Bar Cr and its tributaries, such as E Fork Sni-A-Bar Cr and Little Horseshoe Cr, dictate the winding path of local roads like SE Horseshoe Dr. Smaller aviation landmarks like Thomas Airport and Friends Field underscore the rural-residential character of the region in the early 21st century.
