About this map

The Chariton River meanders through this north Missouri landscape, serving as a primary geographic axis for the settlements of Gifford and South Gifford near the southern border and Yarrow to the north. These communities are linked by a network of winding roads and named tracks, including Yarrow Trl and Linderville Trl, which navigate the drainages of Sugar Cr and Little Walnut Cr.

Genealogical interest is found in the rural uplands at Sheridan Grove Cem and Canaday Cem, providing tangible links for those researching local family histories in Adair and Macon Counties. The terrain is defined by its water systems, from the recreationally significant Spring Lake to the various creeks like Indian Cr and Cottonwood Cr that carve through the agricultural and wooded surroundings. This 2017 survey reflects the modern road designations and property divisions while preserving the locations of these long-standing rural landmarks.
