2015 Map of Chula

About this map

Medicine Creek meanders through the heart of this North Missouri landscape, marking a central drainage corridor that separates the small settlements of Niantic and Chula. This survey reveals a deeply rooted rural infrastructure where early family landmarks remain visible in the placement of Stucker Cemetery, Alpha Cemetery, and Wallace Cemetery. The northern boundary traces the line between Grundy and Livingston counties, a divide that historically influenced local commerce and postal routes. The community of Chula serves as a primary hub for the surrounding farmstead network, which is defined by a rigorous grid of secondary roads like Liv 216 and Mo-K. The varied hydrology, including the North Fork Crooked Creek and Grassy Creek, emphasizes the area's agricultural reliance on these natural watercourses before they reach larger tributaries to the south.
