About this map

Hartford and Graysville center this portrait of northern Missouri, where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of North Blackbird Creek and South Blackbird Creek. The map records a rural infrastructure deeply tied to family and local history, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds such as Bunker Cem, McCune Cem, and Johnson Cem that dot the townships of Liberty and Elm.

Industry and faith appear side-by-side, with active Strip Mines operating northeast of the town centers while congregations met at Rehobeth Ch and Faith Tabernacle. The topography is shaped by the transition between the uplands and the creek valleys, including Shoal Creek and Lick Creek, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of Putnam County before modern consolidation altered many of these small community centers.
