2012 Map of Knox City

About this map

Knox City serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Missouri, situated at the junction of several rural routes including those leading to the Knox City Cemetery and south toward the Joe D Lewis Airport. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Middle Fabius River in the north and the extensive reach of Troublesome Creek to the south. This survey reveals a community deeply tied to its small drainage networks, where the small settlement of Buttermilk rests along the upper reaches of Wolf Branch. Genealogists will find interest in several local burial sites, including the Davis Cemetery and Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts north of the city. The presence of Wilson Lake Dam on a tributary of Little Bridge Creek illustrates the local water management common to this prairie-and-creek terrain.
