2017 Map of Lindley

About this map

Humphreys and Lindley anchor this rural landscape in north-central Missouri, where the boundaries of Sullivan, Grundy, and Linn Counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Medicine Creek, Little Muddy Cr, and Parson Cr, which carve through the farmland. These waterways dictated the placement of early road networks, such as Tulip Rd and Vale Rd, which follow the higher ground between the creek beds. For those tracing family histories in the region, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cem, Lindley Cem, Haseville Cem, and Smith Cem. Small impoundments like Baker Lake and Strong and Stewart Lake suggest more recent water management and recreation patterns in a landscape that remains largely defined by its original township and range partitions.
