About this map

Locust Hill serves as a central anchor for this Missouri landscape, situated where the North Fork Salt River and Black Creek define the drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds including Mount Taber Cemetery, Landsberry Cemetery, and Epperson Cemetery. These sites, along with the Locust Hill Cemetery, provide significant data for genealogical research in Knox County.

The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways such as Surratt Creek, Muddy Fork, and Twomile Creek, which shaped the early road network now identified by numerous county routes. Local aviation is represented by Harrison Airport and Hall Airport, while the presence of the Hurdland Severs Lake Dam and Gelbach Farms Lake indicates 20th-century water management efforts. This survey captures the transition between traditional agricultural homesteads and modern regional infrastructure.
