About this map

Hawk Point stands as the primary hub in this Missouri landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad near the border of Lincoln and Warren counties. The agricultural character of the era is evident in the transition from the open Prairie in the north to the wooded drainages of Camp Branch in the south. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like Central Grove Ch and the Morsey Community Center, while the presence of a Quarry and Mine indicates the local industrial activity of the early 1970s.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Bailey Branch and Clear Branch, which feed into larger systems like Big Creek. To the southeast, Lake Warrenton serves as a significant water feature. Genealogists will find notable value in several established burial sites, including St Marys Cem, Hawk Point Cem, and Elmore Cem, which provide a record of early settlement families in this rural region.
