2014 Map of New Cambria East

About this map

The Chariton River valley dominates this portion of Macon County, where the river's meandering course is flanked by a network of drainage systems including White Oak Creek, Painter Creek, and Elam Creek. The rural landscape is defined by its small settlements and scattered historic burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research in north-central Missouri. Small population centers like Cash in the northeast and Kern further south are connected by a grid of named local roads such as Dolphin Avenue and Foghorn Avenue. The terrain is also home to several distinct cemeteries, such as the Old Chariton Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early family heritage. To the southwest, New Cambria Lake provides a notable water feature amidst the agricultural sections and forested creek bottoms.
