About this map

New Boston serves as a focal point in this 2014 survey of the rural borderlands between Linn and Macon Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Mussel Fork, which flows southward through the center of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as New Boston Br and Badger Cr. This area maintains its agricultural character, evidenced by the presence of Oak Ridge Farms Airport and the dispersed settlements of Goldsberry and Benson.

Genealogical interest is found in the rural burial grounds like White Cemetery and Bell Cemetery, which are located near the eastern edges of the survey. The terrain transitions toward the southeast near Ethel Lake and Little Turkey Cr, showing the typical drainage patterns of the Missouri interior. The map documents the persistent road network, including Missouri Routes U and VV, which connect these small communities across the dissected topography of Brush Cr and Little Brush Cr.
