About this map

Harrison serves as the focal point of this Boone County survey, situated at the junction of Crooked Creek and Dry Jordan Creek. The town's urban grid is anchored by the Harrison Post Office and several significant burial grounds, including Maplewood Cemetery, Speer Cemetery, and Rose Hill Cemetery. As the landscape transitions south and east, the map reveals a more dispersed settlement pattern characterized by the Huzzah Prairie and the hamlets of Chapman, Bellefonte, and Elmwood.

The survey highlights a high density of family and community landmarks, particularly through its numerous cemeteries such as the Milum Cemetery and Eoff Cemetery. The drainage of the East Fork Crooked Creek and Huzzah Creek defines the local topography, leading toward Pilot Mountain in the south. This era of the region's development shows a well-established road network, from named town streets like North Spring Street to rural routes such as Boat Mountain Road and Old Bergman Road.
