About this map

The community of Hilldale serves as a central point in this Missouri landscape, situated near the boundary where Howard and Boone Counties meet. This 2014 survey reveals a rural territory defined by its complex drainage network, where Moniteau Creek and its various tributaries like Caney Br and Prairie Cr wind through the terrain. The presence of Salt Springs and Big Spring indicates the natural hydrological features that have likely influenced local land use for generations.

Family history is well-preserved through several established burial grounds, including Ricketts Cemetery to the northwest, Hourigan Cemetery near the town center, and Walnut Grove Cemetery in the southeast corner. The road network, comprising routes like Highway CC and numerous county roads such as W Richland School Rd, connects these scattered homesteads and historical sites. The map provides a clear view of the township and range divisions that structured the settlement of this region, from t50n r15w down through t49n r14w.
