About this map

Kingsville and Holden anchor the northern landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters and branches of numerous creek systems. The rural character of Johnson County is preserved through a network of section roads like SW 200th Rd and SW 800th Rd, which connect several small communities including Rose Hill, La Tour, and Medford. This area is particularly dense with genealogical sites, featuring several family-named and local burial grounds such as the Kingsville Consolidated Cemetery, Gilbert Cemetery, and Hornsby Cemetery.

Water management is evident through numerous reservoirs and lakes, including Johnson E-24 Lake, Eldridge Lake, and Rock Island Lake. The drainage patterns of Big Creek, Lost Creek, and Scaly Bark Creek illustrate the rolling hydrology of the region. This 2014 survey documents the established agricultural grid and small-town footprints of western Missouri just before significant modern expansion, capturing the spatial relationship between these historic settlements and their surrounding waterways.
