About this map

Hawk Point sits at the intersection of State Hwy A and State Hwy D, serving as a primary settlement in this part of Missouri. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Camp Cr and the eastward-trending Turkey Creek. This area across the border of Lincoln and Warren counties reflects a deep-rooted rural character, visible in the high density of small family and community burial grounds such as Owings-Pennington Cem, Anson Cem, and Zion Cem.

New Truxton provides a secondary hub in the northwest, while the road network follows both section lines and the winding contours of the terrain. Local history and genealogy are particularly well-represented here through named landmarks like Cannon Spring and the numerous cemeteries that dot the countryside, including Central Grove Cem and Saint Marys Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the upland divides to the creek bottoms of Coon Cr and Dry Cr.
