About this map

Half Rock serves as the focal point of this rural Missouri landscape, situated near the boundary where Mercer Co meets Grundy County. The area is defined by a dense network of winding creeks and tributaries, most notably Little Medicine Creek and the bifurcated W Honey Cr and E Honey Cr. This 2017 survey reveals a deeply agricultural character, where land is divided into the township and range system, including t64n r23w and t64n r22w.

Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered burial grounds that dot the countryside, such as Brantley Cem, Barnes Cem, and the Half Rock Cem located just south of the main settlement. The presence of Hammond Brothers Lake and the interestingly named Big No Cr and Little No Cr provide specific geographical markers for local historians tracing property lines or family homesteads along the rural road network of Hazel Rd and Kent Ave.
