2015 Map of Locust Hill

About this map

The North Fork Salt River and Little Fabius River define the agricultural landscape of northern Missouri where the borders of Knox, Adair, and Macon counties converge. This 2015 survey of the Locust Hill area shows a region shaped by small family-named landmarks and watercourses like Shelton Br and Twomile Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of several rural burial grounds, including the Landsberry Cemetery, Mount Taber Cemetery, Epperson Cemetery, and Shelton Cemetery. The presence of the Harrison Airport and Feltz's Bridge highlights the infrastructure connecting these rural homesteads. The topography is further characterized by local features such as Spencer Draw and man-made water bodies like Hurdland Severs Lake and Gelbach Farms Lake, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage and modern land use.
