About this map

The border of Linn and Macon Counties bisects this Missouri landscape, where the rural settlements of New Boston and Goldsberry serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys, including the meandering path of Mussel Fork and its tributaries like New Boston Branch and Painter Creek. These waterways create a corrugated topography of ridges and draws, many of which are accessed by a grid of numbered and named local roads such as Niagua Road and Nagle Road.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks preserved on this survey, including the White Cemetery and Bell Cemetery, which anchor the histories of local families. The presence of the Oak Ridge Farms Airport in the northwest corner highlights the importance of private aviation in modern agricultural operations, while Ethel Lake and Little Turkey Creek define the southeastern drainage patterns near the Macon County line.
