2012 Map of New Cambria East

About this map

The Chariton River meanders through this portion of Macon County, defining a landscape of riparian corridors and agricultural land between the small settlements of New Cambria and Callao. The area is marked by numerous watercourses, including the curiously named Stinking Creek and the bifurcating paths of Ward Branch and Elam Creek. For those tracing local history, several burial grounds are preserved across the countryside, such as Mount Zion Cemetery and Old Chariton Cemetery, the latter situated near the community of Cash. Near the western edge, New Cambria Lake and its associated New Cambria Lake Dam offer a significant break in the terrain. The map reflects a highly organized rural grid, where roads like Foghorn Ave and Ebony Ave provide access to smaller localities such as Kern and Dodd, illustrating the enduring pattern of Missouri's township and range settlement.
