About this map

Lewis Mill sits along the southern course of the Little Chariton River in this 2017 survey of the Missouri landscape. This area, spanning the border of Chariton and Howard counties, is defined by the complex convergence of three river forks. The Middle Fork Little Chariton River and East Fork Little Chariton River wind through a floodplain dotted with oxbow remnants like Horseshoe Lake, Icehouse Lake, and Goose Lake.

Small rural communities such as Forest Green, Oil City, and Shannondale are connected by a network of county roads including Rascal Flats Rd and Horseshoe Lake Rd. For genealogists, the map preserves several local burial sites including Bailey Cem, Pleasant Hope Cem, and Heryford Cem. The landscape reflects a deeply established agricultural and river-dependent character, where drainages like Batts Cr and Doxies Cr feed into the broader river system.
