2011 Map of Harwood

About this map

Walker serves as a primary settlement node in this rural Vernon County landscape, where the grid of county roads meets the rail-aligned streets of W Marvin Ave. The area is defined by a series of north-south drainage systems, including Ladies Branch, Coal Creek, and Robinson Branch, which navigate the gentle terrain south of Pepper Hill. This 2011 survey documents a community deeply rooted in its local geography, evidenced by the high density of rural burial grounds such as Green Mound Cemetery, Bethany Cemetery, and Mount Vernon Cemetery. Further north, smaller clusters like Fair Haven and Harwood mark historic points of settlement along the roadway network. The landscape transitions in the south toward Covington Lake and Handley, illustrating the persistence of these small Missouri townships and their associated family landmarks over generations.
