2021 Map of Forest Green

About this map

Forest Green and the surrounding river bottoms of the Little Chariton River system define this portion of the Missouri landscape at the border of Chariton and Howard counties. The area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the Middle Fork and East Fork, which feed into oxbow features such as Horseshoe Lake, Duck Lake, and Goose Lake. Small settlements like Shannondale and Oil City sit north of the river forks, while Lewis Mill anchors the southern reaches near Doxies Creek. The mapping of family and community burial grounds, such as Heryford Cem, Bailey Cem, and Price Cem, offers valuable data for genealogical research in this agricultural region. The extensive grid of rural roads, including Rascal Flats Rd and Chapel Hill Rd, provides a clear view of the modern land divisions and access points to the river's diverse wetlands and tributaries like Batts Cr and Barber Br.
