About this map

The agrarian landscape of northern Harrison County is defined by a dendritic network of streams and rural section lines. Ridgeway anchors the northern border, while the small settlement of Gardner serves as a local landmark in the western half of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by its drainage into numerous named waterways, including Sugar Cr, Polecat Cr, and Queens Cr, which carve through the undulating Missouri terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Yankee Ridge Cemetery situated in the northeast, a significant site for family history research. Water resources are prominent throughout the survey, with several named bodies such as Jesse Hale Lake, Sittner Lake, Hallock Lake, and Fordyce Lake distributed across the townships. The map meticulously documents the transition from larger waterways like the East Fork Big Creek to smaller tributaries like Trail Cr, illustrating the hydrography that has shaped the local agriculture and settlement patterns.
