2017 Map of Hardin

About this map

Hardin anchors the southern landscape of this Ray County quadrangle, situated where the terrain transitions toward the fertile bottomlands of the Crooked River. The town's grid is clearly defined, with the Hardin Cem nearby, while the smaller settlement of Morton lies to the northwest along State Highway E. The map reveals an intricate network of rural infrastructure, including the managed water of the Norborne Drainage Ditch and the winding course of the W Fork Wakenda Cr in the northern hills. Local history is reflected in several family and community landmarks, such as Lavelock Cem and Clarks Cem, alongside curiously named features like Dangerous Br and Booker Slough. This modern survey illustrates how agricultural patterns have integrated with the natural drainage systems of the Missouri landscape.
