About this map

The town of Holden serves as the primary hub of activity in this west-central Missouri landscape, characterized by a grid of rural roads and scattered farmsteads. The settlement is anchored by a network of local streets including St Charles St, S Main St, and E 4th St, reflecting its growth as a regional center. Outside the town, the terrain is defined by several cemeteries that offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Saint Patrick Cemetery, Ferguson Cemetery, and Fairview Cemetery.

Water plays a vital role in the geography here, with several significant drainages and artificial reservoirs marking the countryside. Bear Cr and Pin Oak Cr wind through the township, while the Number 203 Reservoir and Big Lake provide localized water management. To the south, the smaller settlement of Magnolia sits near White Oak Cr, surrounded by further family burial sites like Outon Cemetery and New Liberty Cemetery. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of Johnson County, where the transition from town to farmland remains clear and structured.
