About this map

The North Fork Salt River meanders across this rural landscape at the border of Shelby and Monroe counties, defining the region's topography and drainage. Small rural communities like Lakenan and Kendall serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural lands, connected by a network of county roads. The importance of the river crossings is evidenced by landmarks such as the Kincheloe Bridge and the Salt River Railroad Bridge, which facilitate movement across the winding waterway and its tributaries, including Black Cr and Thomas Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks preserved on this sheet. Burial sites like Hunnewell Cem and Saint Johns Cem provide essential data for family research in this part of Missouri. The terrain is marked by distinctive natural features such as The Mound and various small bodies of water like Buckman Lake and Paradise Lake, which have long shaped the local settlement patterns and land use in this pocket of the state.
