About this map

Hurdland and Brashear anchor this agricultural landscape along the county line between Adair and Knox Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the S Fork S Fabius River and the Little Fabius River, which create a complex network of drainage through Nick Br, Long Br, and Hog Br. These watercourses dictate the placement of local roads and the orientation of small-scale farming plots across the townships of t63n r13w and t62n r12w.

Smaller rural hubs like Kenwood and Paultown provide historical context for the area's development. Genealogists will find the locations of the Paultown Cemetery, Brashear Cemetery, and Rock Creek Cemetery particularly useful for tracing family roots. Scattered water bodies such as James Lake, Taylor Lake, and Parsons Lake emphasize the importance of water management in this portion of northern Missouri.
