2014 Map of Nelsonville

About this map

Nelsonville sits at the heart of this rural landscape where the boundaries of Marion, Lewis, and Shelby counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Fabius River and several significant tributaries, including Troublesome Cr and Allen Br. This 2014 edition documents a region of small farm-to-market settlements, showing Argola to the north and Sigsbee to the southwest, connected by a network of county roads such as Co Road 104 and Shelby 174. Several small water bodies carry family names, such as Doctor Wells Lake, Loscher Lake, and Doscher Brothers Lake, suggesting a long-standing local connection to the land. The presence of the Methodist Cemetery near the Shelby County line provides a tangible link for those researching family history in this quiet agricultural corner of Northeast Missouri.
