About this map

Graysville and the surrounding rural landscape of northern Missouri appear in this survey, showcasing a region defined by its creek valleys and high ridges. The terrain is deeply carved by the N Blackbird Cr and S Blackbird Cr systems, creating a network of drainage basins that influenced the placement of early settlements and road routes. Small communities like Hartford and Martinstown anchor the survey, connected by a web of local routes such as Mo-W.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for locating numerous small burial grounds that dot the countryside, including Thompson Cemetery, McCune Cemetery, and the Lone Pine Cemetery. These sites are often the primary remaining physical markers of nineteenth-century family farms in the area. The map also captures the distinct boundary where Putnam and Sullivan counties meet, crossing near the southern reaches of Shuteye Cr.
