2021 Map of Gilman City East

About this map

Gilman City and the nearby settlement of Melbourne anchor this rural landscape in Harrison County, where the terrain is carved by a network of winding waterways. The eastern boundary is defined by the Thompson River, while the interior is drained by numerous streams including Sugar Cr, Tombstone Cr, and Furnace Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and social layout of the region, emphasizing the importance of local heritage through the documentation of several family and community burial grounds. Scattered across the hills are the Springer Chapel Cem, Cat Creek Cem, and Mitchell Cem, each serving as a waypoint for genealogical research. The map also highlights Ratliff Lake and the convergence of several county lines, where Harrison, Grundy, and Daviess counties meet, reflecting the enduring political and geographic boundaries that have shaped this portion of northern Missouri for generations.
