2018 Map of Humeston

About this map

Humeston serves as the primary hub of this Wayne County landscape, with its residential grid organized around streets like Winter St and Spring St. The surrounding countryside is defined by the headwaters of the S Fork Chariton River and tributaries such as Ninemile Cr and Dick Cr. This 2018 survey documents a region where agricultural land use is interwoven with local history, evidenced by several rural burial grounds including Cambria Cem, Kirby Cem, and Greenlee Cem. The topography is subtly marked by areas labeled Timber and Raccoon, while the namesake Wells Field sits near the southern boundary. This map captures the modern township and range divisions, showing the precise layout of section lines and rural routes like Co Rd J22 and Liberty Rd that connect the scattered farmsteads and cemeteries of the prairie.
