About this map

The boundary between Daviess and Caldwell counties defines the central landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, where agricultural fields meet a network of wandering tributaries. The town of Hamilton occupies the southwestern corner, while the small settlement of Nettleton sits further east along Co Rte 96. These communities are connected by a grid of rural routes and named avenues, including NE Old Highway 36, which runs parallel to the modern thoroughfares.

Water plays a significant role in the local geography, with Marrowbone Creek and its many branches like Dog Cr cutting through the northern terrain. To the east, the drainage of Honey Creek and the southern flow of Bear Br and Lick Fork create a dissected topography. Notable water features like Johnson Lake and Penny Lake provide clear landmarks for local researchers tracing property lines or land usage in this part of northwestern Missouri.
