2010 Map of Mackey

About this map

Squaw Creek and its many tributaries, including Crooked Creek and Montgomery Creek, define the agricultural landscape of this northern Boone County region. The small settlement of Mackey anchors the eastern edge of the survey, situated near the Mackey Cemetery. The township's history is reflected in its numerous burial grounds, such as Saint Paul's Lutheran Cemetery and the Leininger Cemetery, which are scattered among the section lines and rural homesteads. The transport network is a rigid grid of gravel and paved roads, though specific crossings like Squaw Creek Bridge Two show where the natural hydrology forces breaks in the man-made symmetry. Further west, the map identifies the rural site of Griffen and the private Stotts Landing Field, illustrating the blend of traditional farming infrastructure and modern light aviation in the early 21st century.
