About this map

Emmet serves as the primary hub of this rural landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad and Highway 67. The map illustrates a community anchored by numerous local congregations, including Ephesus Ch, New Liberty Ch, and Sweet Home Ch, which are scattered throughout the countryside. These landmarks, along with the Snell Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Hempstead and Nevada Counties.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Little Terre Rouge Creek and Terre Rouge Creek, which wind through the timbered sections and open fields. Pockets of settlement such as Centerville and Sutton appear in the southern portion of the sheet, while industrial infrastructure like a Pumping Station and multiple gas pipelines reveal the region's mid-century utility development.
