2010 Map of Humeston

About this map

Humeston serves as the primary hub of this rural landscape, situated at the intersection of a well-defined road network and the Railroad right-of-way Public Hunting Area, which follows a former rail corridor. The map reveals a high concentration of ancestral sites, with family-named grounds such as Kirby Cemetery and Greenlee Cemetery scattered across the township lines. Smaller settlements like Cambria, Peoria, and Saxon are spaced across the agricultural interior, connected by a grid of named routes like Summit Rd and Liberty Rd. The natural drainage of the region is defined by the South Fork Chariton River and its tributaries, including Ninemile Creek and Dick Creek, which cut through the farm plots and provide a contrast to the geometric precision of the county roads.
