About this map

Chariton River meanders through this portion of Putnam County, defining the agricultural character of the valley and its surrounding uplands. The small settlements of Livonia and Worthington serve as the primary anchors for the local community, while the evocatively named Lickskillet sits further west near the banks of Logan Branch. The landscape is etched with the names of early settler families, preserved through a network of small burial grounds such as Speak Cemetery in the north and Cooper Cemetery in the southeast.

Transport through the river valley is marked by crossing points like Slate Ford, which historically linked the communities on either side of the waterway. Notable terrain features including White Oak Ridge rise above the numerous creek systems, such as Brush Creek, Elm Creek, and Wildcat Creek. This topography influenced the development of the county road system, where routes like Co Hwy-318 and Co Hwy-229 navigate the divide between the low-lying river bottomlands and the timbered ridges.
