2014 Map of Chilhowee

About this map

The agrarian landscape of West-Central Missouri is meticulously documented in this survey, defined by the border between Johnson and Henry counties. The area is anchored by the dual presence of Old Chilhowee and the primary settlement of Chilhowee, showing the evolution of local centers over time. This region is characterized by its drainage network, where the headwaters of Hogan Fork and E Fork Post Oak Cr carve through the agricultural uplands. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies local burial sites such as Providence Cemetery to the northeast and Carrsville Cemetery near Petersburg in the south. The transition from the rural roads of Johnson County to the northern reaches of Henry County reveals a pattern of dispersed settlements including Post Oak and the landmark Shawnee Mound, illustrating the sparse but deliberate distribution of early Missouri communities.
