About this map

Craig serves as the primary hub of this Northwest Missouri landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern railroad and the rich bottomlands of the Missouri River valley. The geography here is defined by a complex drainage system where the Old Channel Tarkio River and Little Tarkio Creek wind through the township of Union. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the Squaw Cr National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting the area's importance as a wetland habitat.

Local heritage is anchored by dispersed rural landmarks such as Pleasant View Ch and New Liberty Ch, alongside historic burial sites like Caton Cem and Tharp Cem. The township boundaries of Lincoln, Liberty, and Benton organize the landscape, while the intricate system of ditches and creeks, including Wildcat Creek and Squaw Creek, illustrates the long history of water management and land reclamation in Holt County.
