About this map

Keytesville serves as the focal point of this Chariton County landscape, where the Mussel Fork meanders south toward its confluence with the Chariton River. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Long Cr, Puzzle Cr, and Cottonwood Cr, alongside stagnant water features like Horseshoe Lake. The settlement of Dalton sits in the southwest, connected to the county seat by a grid of rural routes such as Co RD 402 and Water Well Rd.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this 2017 survey, including Keytesville City Cem, Dalton Cem, and the more isolated Varner Cem and Bennett Cem. Infrastructure like the Price Bridge and the Eisberg Farms Airport provide modern landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by traditional township divisions and section lines. The map documents the enduring agricultural and hydraulic character of this Missouri river valley region.
