2015 Map of Matkins

About this map

Matkins serves as the central settlement in this rural landscape near the intersection of Harrison, Gentry, and Daviess counties. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Sampson Cr, White Oak Cr, and Little Sampson Cr, which create a complex drainage pattern across the township. For those tracing local heritage, White Oak Cemetery and Foster Cemetery are key landmarks situated among the agricultural fields and rural routes. The map documents an extensive system of secondary roads and trails, such as Crab Orchard Trl and Jacks Branch Trl, which connect the scattered homesteads. This 2015 survey illustrates how the traditional land divisions of Northwest Missouri remain largely intact, with property boundaries and local transit still dictated by the winding paths of creeks like Wolf Den Br and Ward Br.
