About this map

The city of Galt serves as the focal point in this portion of Grundy County, situated in the southeastern corner where local roads converge. The surrounding landscape is defined by the branching waterways of Little Medicine Creek, Big No Creek, and Little No Creek, which dictate the rural property lines and the placement of several small reservoirs like Parr Lake and Berry Lake.

Genealogists will find this 2012 survey particularly useful for locating numerous rural burial sites scattered throughout the countryside, including Mount Zion Cemetery, Berry Cemetery, and McAfee Cemetery. The map also documents modern infrastructure and water management through labeled features such as Herrold Lake Dam and Meighn Lake Dam. The grid of named thoroughfares, such as Ne 100 ST and Ne 100 Ave, provides a precise framework for tracing family farmsteads and the evolving land use of this Missouri agricultural region.
