2017 Map of Kimsey Creek

About this map

The low-lying wetlands and creek beds of rural Holt County define this landscape, where the waters of Bluff Pool and Gordan Lake sit alongside the winding path of Kimsey Cr. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage features including Swope Cr, Blair Cr, and Davis Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections of the county. A grid of rural routes such as Lone Elm RD and State HWY BB connects the various family and community burial grounds that anchor the local geography. These sites, including South Bethel Cem and Baldwin Cem, offer significant points of interest for those researching the lineage and settlement patterns of this Missouri region. The interplay between the natural water systems and the established road network reveals a community built around the challenges and resources of the local river-and-creek topography.
