2012 Map of Millville

About this map

The East Fork Crooked River carves a winding path through this portion of Ray County, Missouri, anchoring a landscape of small agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Millville sits near the river's bend in the south-central portion of the map, while Taitsville and Georgeville define the northern reaches. The rural road network, which includes routes like Rattlesnake Rd and Horn Hill Rd, connects a series of small, scattered burial grounds that provide significant genealogical data for the region. These sites, including Petty Cemetery, Silar Cemetery, Kincaid Cemetery, Gorham Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery, indicate decades of family settlement patterns along the river valley and its tributaries like Mud Creek and Cottonwood Branch. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of the area, where land use remains closely tied to the natural drainage systems of the Crooked River basin.
