2017 Map of Gilman City East

About this map

Melbourne sits at the junction of several rural routes along the Harrison and Grundy county line, serving as a focal point for this agrarian landscape in northwest Missouri. The area is defined by a dense network of winding waterways, including the Thompson River and the aptly named Tombstone Cr, which carve through the terrain. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several well-distributed burial grounds such as Springer Chapel Cem, Cat Creek Cem, Gilman Cem, and Mitchell Cem, often located near crossroads or small watercourses. To the southwest, the outskirts of Gilman City appear at the Daviess County border, where the grid of Ashwood Ave meets the surrounding township system. The presence of Ratliff Lake and the various branches of Sugar Cr and Little Cr illustrate the hydrological patterns that have shaped land use and property boundaries throughout this multi-county region.
