2021 Map of Medill

About this map

Medill and the surrounding rural landscape of Clark County are defined by a complex network of waterways that have shaped local settlement and agriculture for generations. The Wyaconda River cuts across the southern portion of the map, revealing the Old Channel North Wyaconda River where the stream once naturally meandered. To the north, the Little Fox River and Fox River create a well-watered corridor for the communities of Luray and Ashton. Local history is anchored by sites like the Zimmerman Cem and Medill Cem, providing vital reference points for genealogical research in this part of Missouri. The map illustrates a rural transport system including State Hwy AA and Drew Bridge, which connects dispersed farmsteads to these small township hubs. The drainage patterns of Linn Creek and Honey Cr further illustrate the topographic character of the region as it transitioned into the twenty-first century.
