2017 Map of Knob Noster NW

About this map

Higginsville anchors the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape in Lafayette and Johnson Counties, where the Missouri prairie is defined by a complex network of meandering drainage systems. The northern sections are dominated by the Old Channel Davis Cr and Mulkey Cr, while the southern reaches feature the headwaters of Flagstaff Cr and the secluded Lake Pajaszka. Small rural nodes like Mount Olive and Ernestville serve as traditional landmarks amidst a grid of section-line roads, many of which carry family and local names such as Theiman Rd and Meinershagen Rd. The topography is generally gentle, though notable elevations like Rattlesnake Hill rise near the Foster Cem. This 2017 survey reflects the modern rural layout while preserving the placement of older community markers like the New Hope Cem and the route of Old Hwy 40.
