2014 Map of Modena

About this map

Modena and Dinsmore sit within a landscape defined by the drainage basins of northern Missouri, where the Mercer Co Grundy Co border divides the southern reaches of this survey. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water features, including King Lake, Dean Lake, and the specifically designated Hamilton Lake Section 33 and Hamilton Lake Section 35. Numerous tributaries like Sandy Cr, Martin Cr, and W Muddy Cr carve through the agricultural lands, creating a series of ridges and valleys that have historically influenced the placement of local homesteads and access roads. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several burial grounds, including Brummitt Cemetery and Union Cemetery near the county line, and Wild Cemetery to the west. The road network follows a distinct alphabetical and thematic nomenclature, with routes ranging from Iceberg Rd to Kangaroo Ave.
