About this map

Leonard and Cherry Box anchor this section of Northeast Missouri, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek branches draining toward the North River. The landscape follows a strict section-line grid of county roads, such as CO Road 343 and Shelby 118, which connect isolated homesteads and small family burial grounds.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local history in the numerous small cemeteries dotted across the townships of T59N and T60N. From the Cockrum Cemetery in the north to Peoples Cemetery in the south, these sites, including Antioch Cemetery and Garnett Cemetery, provide a clear map of early settlement patterns and family lineages along the banks of Black Cr and Perry Br. The map also illustrates the transition between Shelby and Knox counties, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the region in the early 21st century.
