About this map

The South Grand River meanders across this rural Henry County landscape, serving as a primary geographical anchor for the surrounding farming communities. Small settlements and crossroads like Creighton, Urich, Lucas, and Mayesburg are connected by a grid of numbered roads that speak to the region's agricultural heritage and organized land division. The terrain is relatively level, interrupted by modest elevations such as Turkey Knob and several watercourses including Knob Creek and Cove Creek.

Family and local history are preserved in several scattered burial sites across the quadrangle, including Parker Cemetery, Kepner Cemetery, and Mullins Cemetery. The map reflects the early 21st-century infrastructure of the area, featuring the Creighton Wastewater Treatment Facility and the continued importance of water resources like Sprig Lake. This survey illustrates a quiet pocket of Missouri where the rhythm of the river and the legacy of early settlers remain foundational to the modern landscape.
