About this map

Matkins serves as the primary focal point of this Harrison County landscape, situated at the intersection of several county roads that navigate a network of drainages. The area is defined by the winding course of Sampson Creek and its namesake tributary, Little Sampson Creek, which shape the topography of these rural agricultural lands. The map reveals a high density of named water features, including Wolf Den Branch, White Oak Creek, and Latchel Branch, suggesting a terrain characterized by numerous small valleys and ridges.

For those researching family history in the region, the placement of Foster Cemetery in the north and White Oak Cemetery to the east provides critical landmarks for identifying ancestral homesteads. The road grid, including routes like Co Hwy 473 and W 345th St, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated farmsteads and rural properties that have long been the backbone of this northern Missouri community.
