2021 Map of Modena

About this map

The settlement of Modena serves as the central point for this rural landscape in north-central Missouri, situated near the boundary between Mercer Co and Grundy Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Martin Cr, W Muddy Cr, and Woods Cr. These waterways are punctuated by numerous small reservoirs and ponds, such as Hamilton Lake Section 35 and Dean Lake, reflecting the region's agricultural reliance on water management. For those researching local history, the placement of rural burial grounds like Old Union Cem, Prairie Ridge Cem, and Wild Cem provides essential points for genealogical mapping. The road network, largely composed of section-line routes such as January Rd and State Hwy A, illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern Missouri countryside.
