About this map

Kingsville and Holden anchor this portion of the Missouri landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks diverge across the prairie. The topography is defined by the subtle drainage basins of Big Cr, Lost Creek, and the many branches of West Pin Oak Creek. These watercourses dictated the early settlement patterns and road networks that still crisscross the region today.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds. Sites like Duncan Cemetery, Gilbert Cemetery, and Hornsby Cemetery are preserved alongside small clusters of habitation at Fenwick and Medford. The map also captures the path of the Rock Island Spur Trail, tracing an important transportation corridor through the agricultural heart of Johnson and Cass counties. The detailed network of county roads, such as SW 200th Road, provides a clear view of the rural grid connecting these historic Missouri communities.
