About this map

Red Haw State Park and the waters of Red Haw Lake dominate the northeastern corner of this rural landscape where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through Lincoln township. The map documents a predominantly agricultural region straddling the Lucas Co and Wayne Co line, characterized by a dense network of watercourses including the Chariton River, Honey Creek, and Wolf Creek.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Waynick Cem and Salem Cem. The area’s social fabric is visible through features like the Salem Ch, Sharon Ch, and the Community Hall. Further south, the terrain becomes more defined by the drainage of Sugar Creek and Brush Creek, showing the rural section-line road system as it appeared in the early 1980s.
