2017 Map of De Kalb

About this map

De Kalb serves as the primary settlement in this agricultural portion of Northwest Missouri, situated near the headwaters of Little Sugar Cr and Contrary Cr. The surrounding landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages that feed into larger systems like Sugar Cr and Lost Cr, creating a dissected terrain that dictated the placement of early farmsteads and transport routes. A notable concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including West Lawn Cem and Jones Cem, points to a long-established rural population.
