2021 Map of Indian Grove

About this map

Indian Grove and Newhall anchor this landscape in rural Chariton County, where a network of tributary streams dissects the agricultural terrain. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous named waterways including Yellow Cr, Salt Cr, and Skunk Cr, which flow through the sectioned fields and along county roads. The map reveals a high density of small family or community burial sites, which are critical for genealogical research in this part of Missouri. These include the German Cem located south of the main settlements, the Newcomer Cem further west, and the Old Mendon Cem near the northwestern edge. The grid of rural routes like Co RD 216 and HWY F connects these isolated landmarks, providing a clear record of the modern road system as it overlays historical land divisions.
