About this map

West Locust Creek meanders through the heart of Sullivan County in this detailed mid-century survey, dividing the townships of Liberty, Polk, Bowman, and Duncan. The eastern edge is anchored by the county seat of Milan, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and local industry like Gravel Pits shaped the local economy. Further west, the small settlement of Reger sits along the rail line, providing a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community.

Family history is preserved across the rural landscape in sites such as Shatto Cem, Lovell Cem, and Henery Cem. These markers, along with the Sullivan Ch, reflect a distributed settlement pattern common to northern Missouri before the consolidation of rural infrastructure. The map also records physical land use through several Quarry sites and the winding path of Elmwood Br in the northeastern corner.
