2021 Map of Johnstown

About this map

Johnstown and the surrounding rural landscapes of Henry and Bates Counties are defined by an intricate network of waterways draining into the Deepwater Creek system. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Poage Cem and Snodgrass Union Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Missouri. The landscape shows a clear division of land ownership and township development through a grid of rural roads like E State Rte 18 and State Hwy OO. Small centers of commerce and community are represented by Germantown, Piper, and the aviation site at Brownsberger Airport. The numerous tributaries, including the colorfully named Granddaddy Cr and Soap Cr, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the N Deepwater Cr and S Deepwater Cr basins.
