2012 Map of Emden

About this map

North River and its numerous tributaries, including Tiger Fork and Merrills Branch, dictate the settlement patterns of this Missouri landscape. The terrain is characterized by a network of rural routes such as Highway JJ and Highway DD connecting small agricultural communities. Central to this map is the settlement of Bellville, situated amidst a cluster of family-centered landmarks like Ebenezer Cemetery and Calvert Cemetery. To the west, the community of Emden lies near the headwaters of Moreland Branch, while Warren and Deer Lick anchor the eastern and southern edges of the survey. The mapping of Bevill Lake and various named branches like Hawkins Branch illustrates the intricate drainage system that has historically supported the local farming economy in Marion and Shelby counties.
