About this map

Medicine Creek and W Locust Cr define the rolling topography of this North Missouri landscape, where the borders of Mercer, Sullivan, and Grundy counties converge. The small community of Harris serves as a central point of settlement, characterized by a grid of streets including Railway Street and Joliet Street that reflect the area's transportation history. Further south, the village of Wintersville sits near the Wintersville Cemetery, while Newtown occupies the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

Rural life is anchored by family and community landmarks, notably the scattered burial grounds such as Busby Cemetery and Brackett Cemetery. A network of state routes, including State Hwy E and State Hwy KK, connects these isolated settlements through the dissected drainage basins of Hooton Creek. The map documents a traditional agricultural region where place names and cemetery locations preserve the heritage of local families and the early development of these tri-county borderlands.
