2014 Map of Harris

About this map

Medicine Creek and W Locust Cr define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape, which spans the junctions of Mercer, Sullivan, and Grundy counties. The small community of Harris sits at the intersection of Linn Rd and 1st Ave, while the northern settlement of Newtown is positioned near the headwaters of Hooton Cr. This area is characterized by scattered family-named cemeteries that reflect generations of local settlement, including the Busby Cemetery, Brackett Cemetery, and Wintersville Cemetery. The road network is primarily composed of local routes like Kingston Rd and Liberty Rd, providing access between the upland ridges and the creek valleys. Near the southern edge, the tiny settlement of Wintersville centers around its namesake cemetery and the crossing of Austin Dr. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the numerous small draws and hills that separate the major creek beds in this corner of Missouri.
