1984 Map of Modena

About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Modena serves as a central point in this 1980s landscape, positioned near the crossroads of agricultural townships and the Mercer Co Grundy Co line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Sandy Creek, Marlin Creek, and West Muddy Creek. These waterways dictate the local topography and the placement of rural roads, which largely follow the ridge lines between the deep creek beds. Evidence of modern infrastructure is sparse, noted primarily by a Radio Tower standing as a landmark in the northern section of the survey. The map details the transition between several jurisdictional boundaries such as Madison and Harrison townships, providing a clear view of land organization in north-central Missouri during this era before significant digital revision.
