About this map

The unincorporated community of Matkins serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Northwest Missouri, situated where the borders of Harrison, Gentry, and Daviess counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, primarily characterized by the northern reaches of Sampson Cr and its tributary, Little Sampson Cr. These waterways create a series of low ridges and valleys that have historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by two primary sites: Foster Cem in the north and White Oak Cem to the east. The map detail reflects a contemporary agricultural layout, where established thoroughfares like State Hwy P and W Co Rd ZZ connect scattered rural dwellings. Other notable water features include Wolf Den Br and White Oak Cr, which further carve the landscape between the surveyed townships of T63N and T62N.
