2011 Map of Knob Noster NW

About this map

Ernestville and Mount Olive anchor this agricultural landscape in Lafayette County, where a dense network of country roads connects family farms and local landmarks. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of the Missouri River watershed, most notably the meandering paths of Mulkey Creek and Flagstaff Creek. To the north, the Old Channel Davis Creek suggests a landscape shaped by historical water management or natural shifts in the stream's course. Genealogy researchers can find point-specific data at Foster Cemetery near the base of Rattlesnake Hill, as well as New Hope Cemetery located further north near Peavine Creek. The map documents a rural Missouri community at the start of the 2010s, balancing modern infrastructure like the prominent east-west highway corridor with secluded features such as Lake Pajastka in the southwest corner.
