About this map

Hamilton serves as the primary urban center in this survey, situated on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River where the shoreline forms the expansive Grays Bay. The town is characterized by a dense grid of streets, including several local cemeteries such as Oakwood Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery that offer significant value for genealogical research. North of the town center, the landscape transitions into a network of rural routes like Bollin Road and County Road 800, leading toward the settlement of Mount Moriah.

The hydrography of the region is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Chaney Creek, Waggoner Creek, and Railroad Creek, which carve through the land east of the river. Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Sullivan Airport, located on the outskirts of the residential development. Farther north, the rural character is reinforced by the presence of the Sterns Cemetery and agricultural reaches defined by several branches of Larry Creek.
