About this map

Knob Noster serves as the primary hub of this Missouri landscape, situated where the terrain begins to rise toward distinctive local landmarks like Cooks Knob and the various Knobs to the east. The area is defined by the drainage of the Blackwater River and its tributaries, including the Clear Fork Blackwater River and Walnut Cr. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites, such as Hocker Cemetery, Rothwell Cemetery, and Saint Joseph Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for family historians tracing early regional lineages.

Industrial and natural features are interspersed throughout the countryside, from Carbon Hill near the settlement of Montserrat to several small bodies of water like Campbell Lake and Morel Lake. The western edge shows Valley City along the river banks, while the grid of country roads like Ne MM HWY and Ne 600th RD connects these disparate settlements and family cemeteries across the Johnson County line.
