About this map

The small settlements of Emden and Warren anchor this rural landscape along the border of Shelby and Marion counties. This region is defined by the winding course of the North River and its numerous tributaries, including Tiger Fork, Merrills Br, and Hawkins Br. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of county roads, such as Co RD 178 and Co RD 268, which connect isolated homesteads and local landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of several local burial grounds. The Ebenezer Cem sits centrally, while further south, Calvert Cem and Andrew Chapel Cem provide vital links to the area's early families. The presence of Bevill Lake and various named branches like Moreland Br and Newmarket Br illustrates the hydraulic pattern of this Missouri countryside as it remained in the early 21st century.
