2012 Map of Hemple

About this map

Hemple and Starfield anchor this rural DeKalb County landscape, where the drainage patterns of Northwest Missouri define the layout of local roads and farmsteads. The terrain is deeply incised by a dense network of watercourses, including Castile Creek, Wolfpen Creek, and McGuire Branch, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes such as Co Rd-350 and Co Rd-376. For family historians, the map identifies specific burial grounds like New Harmony Cemetery and Keller Cemetery, situated away from the primary settlements. The land use remains predominantly agricultural, with a grid-like road system that frequently yields to the natural contours of the many small tributaries like Jordan Creek and Roger Branch that flow through the township.
