2012 Map of Craig

About this map

The settlement of Craig anchors the western edge of this Holt County landscape, situated where the Missouri bottomlands meet a complex network of modified waterways. The geography is defined by the remnants of hydrological engineering, most notably the Old Channel Tarkio River and the Old Channel Little Tarkio Creek. These features illustrate the historical efforts to manage drainage and flooding in this agricultural corridor. Beyond the town, a grid of rural routes such as Lonesome Rd and Dauber Rd provides access to the surrounding fields. The eastern portion of the survey is drained by Wildcat Creek and Squaw Creek, while the modern course of Little Tarkio Creek meanders through the central section, highlighting the persistent importance of water management to the local economy.
