About this map

Coal City and Coatsville anchor this northern Missouri landscape, situated where the state border meets the jagged path of the Chariton River. This terrain is defined by the winding river valley and its numerous tributaries, including Turkey Cr and Spring Cr, which have carved the upland plateaus into a network of ridges and hollows. The area maintains a high concentration of burial grounds, providing a significant genealogical resource for those tracing local lineages through sites such as Hilltown Cemetery, Saint John Cemetery, and Hargrave Cemetery.

Transport and recreation in the region are represented by a dense grid of gravel and paved roads, such as State HWY N and CR-j59, which connect small communities like Chapel and Guinn. The inclusion of Prairie Recreation Lake highlights more modern land use amidst the traditional farming and mining heritage of Putnam Co and Schuyler Co. This survey documents a quiet rural corridor characterized by dispersed farmsteads and the enduring landmarks of its early settlement.
