About this map

Marshfield serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, where the headwaters of the Pomme de Terre River and James River begin their respective journeys. The drainage patterns are a defining characteristic, with Turnbo Cr and Greer Cr carving paths through the terrain. Evidence of early river crossings is preserved through labels for Bumgarden Ford and Lindstrew Ford, indicating historical transportation routes that predated modern bridge infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data points across the townships, from the small settlement at Northview to numerous burial grounds including Thomas Cem, Welch Cem, and Friendship Cem. These sites, along with others like Osborn Cem and Clifton Cem, are scattered across the rural sections, marking the lineage of local families. The map also documents the transition from agricultural land to more developed areas near the city center, which is bisected by a network of local streets such as W Jefferson and W Maple St.
