About this map

The boundary between Johnson and Henry counties serves as the backdrop for this mid-century look at West Central Missouri. The settlement of Chilhowee is a central hub, situated along the tracks of the Chicago Texas and Missouri Pacific Kansas and Texas Railroad. To its north, Old Chilhowee points to an earlier stage of the community’s development. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Big Creek and its tributaries, including Honey Creek and the East Fork Post Oak Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, such as Shiloh Ch, Corinth Ch, and the Shawnee Mound Ch. Burials are noted at Providence Cem and Carrsville Cem, providing specific locations for local family history research. To the south, evidence of the area's extraction industry appears in the form of a Quarry and scattered Strip Mines near the high point of Shawnee Mound.
