About this map

Clarksdale and the northern edge of Stewartsville anchor this Missouri landscape where the borders of Andrew, DeKalb, and Buchanan Counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Third Fork and Little Third Fork, which drain a countryside of agricultural plots and rural homesteads. This 2017 survey reflects a deeply established agrarian community, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds and family-named landmarks that dot the townships.

Genealogists can trace local history through a series of dedicated cemeteries, including Clarksdale Cem, Stone Cem, and Silvers Cem. The road network, comprising routes like SW Grindstone Rd and State Hwy UU, connects isolated features such as Peterson Lake to the primary settlements. The presence of smaller creeks like Bays Br and Jordan Cr highlights the natural drainage patterns that have historically influenced farm placement and rural development in this part of Northwest Missouri.
