2017 Map of Linneus

About this map

Linneus and Purdin anchor this portion of Linn County, Missouri, situated within a landscape defined by the branching tributaries of Locust Creek. The terrain is marked by a high density of rural roads and drainage networks, including W Locust Cr, Muddy Cr, and Turkey Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several smaller burial sites such as Gooch Cem, Southerland Cem, and Dryden Cem, which remain as persistent landmarks of the area's early settlement families. Significant water features such as the Linneus Reservoir and Number 217 Reservoir provide insight into the township's modern water management and local geography, while the intricate system of named branches like Kemper Br and Linn Br illustrates the natural drainage patterns into the larger creek systems.
