2021 Map of Mendon

About this map

Mendon stands at the northeastern edge of this Chariton County landscape, where a grid of local streets like Main St and Commercial ST meet the agricultural lands of northern Missouri. The terrain is defined by the wetlands and drainage systems of Elk Creek and Yellow Cr, which feed into South Lake and Craddock Lake. This survey captures a region of dispersed rural settlements, including Whitham, Snyder, and the northern edge of Triplett. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and burial sites, notably Stephenson Cem near Stephenson Rd and Jackson Cem located further east. The low-lying character of the land is emphasized by Hog Ridge and the winding course of Salt Cr to the south. Eagle Lodge Airport serves as a modern navigation point amidst a network of county roads that have long connected these farming communities.
