About this map

Mound City sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the Missouri loess hills give way to the drainage networks of the Missouri River floodplain. The terrain is defined by the complex branching of Squaw Cr, including its Middle Branch and East Branch, which carve through the agricultural uplands. A string of private water bodies like Tenney- Hall Lake, Lloyd Norman Lake, and Gillis Lake are tucked into the valleys, suggesting the importance of water management and local recreation in this Holt County region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, including Mount Hope Cemetery near the city and the more remote Center District Cemetery and Shiloh Cemetery. The map also captures smaller locales such as Whig Valley and infrastructure like the Crop Care Airport, reflecting the area's deep-rooted connection to aerial agriculture and rural community life during the early 21st century.
