2017 Map of Lake Thunderhead

About this map

Lake Thunderhead and the Unionville Reservoir dominate the southern landscape of this borderland survey, where the rolling hills of northern Missouri meet southern Iowa. The interstate boundary divides the sheet, separating Putnam County from Wayne and Appanoose Counties. In the north, the small settlement of Genoa sits along a network of section-line roads, while the Unionville Municipal Airport and residential developments like Wildflower Dr and Dogwood Dr surround the lake's fingers. Historically significant sites for genealogists include Livingston Cem and Union Cem, alongside Lupton Cemetery Rd. The drainage pattern is defined by the winding paths of N Blackbird Cr, North Cr, and South Cr, which fed the region's early agricultural development and more recent recreational water projects.
