2021 Map of Coatsville

About this map

The Chariton River meanders through the heart of this landscape, marking the borderlands where Missouri meets Iowa. This contemporary survey of the Schuyler County region highlights a rural agricultural pattern defined by dispersed settlements like Coatsville and Guinn. For genealogists, the map is an exceptionally dense resource, locating numerous family-named burial grounds such as Kerby Cem, Hilltown Cem, and Hargrave Cem that dot the ridges above the river valley. The southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the Prairie Recreation Lake, while the road network follows established section lines and historic paths like Raven Town Rd and Gospel Ridge Rd. The proximity of settlements to the river and the variety of named cemeteries suggest a long-standing community tied to the local geography of northern Missouri.
