2014 Map of Dotham

About this map

The borderlands of Atchison, Nodaway, and Holt Counties reveal a classic Missouri agricultural landscape defined by a complex network of creeks and drainage branches. Small settlements like Dotham and Oswald anchor the rural infrastructure, while the land is deeply etched by watercourses such as Squaw Cr, Hickory Br, and Huff Cr. The map highlights specialized land use and water management through the series of reservoirs known as Patterson Farms Lake Section 12, Patterson Farms Lake Section 13, and Patterson Farms Lake Section 23. This 2014 survey documents the enduring grid of section-line roads, including Co Line Rd and Key Stone Dr, which have organized this fertile region for generations. The drainage pattern, featuring the E Fork Little Tarkio Cr and Middle Br Squaw Cr, illustrates how local topography dictates the placement of farmsteads and transport routes in this tri-county corner.
