About this map

The Missouri River carves a massive, winding path through this corner of Missouri, defining the fertile bottomlands and complex water systems of Holt County. The landscape is marked by the shifting path of the Tarkio River, which runs parallel to the Old Channel Tarkio River, suggesting a history of hydrological changes and channel management. Near the northeastern border, Pigeon Ridge and the nearby Mill Hollow provide a break from the river plains.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several family and community landmarks, including Williams Cemetery, Parish Cemetery, and Arago Cemetery. Small hubs like Corning and Craig anchor the rural road network, which is crisscrossed by numerous county routes such as Co HWY-16 and Co HWY-9. The inclusion of a Landing Strip and varied drainage features like Winnebago Creek and Cottier Creek reveals a working landscape tied to both aviation and traditional river-valley agriculture.
