2017 Map of New Cambria West

About this map

Mussel Fork meanders through the central terrain of this quadrangle, defining a landscape marked by the transition between Linn County and Macon County. The area is characterized by a network of small settlements and rural crossroads, including Bucklin, Lingo, and New Cambria. These communities are connected by a grid of secondary roads and state highways like State Hwy VV and State Hwy Z, which navigate the various tributary branches. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the countryside, such as Brush Creek Cem and Dowell Cem in the north, and Saint Mary Cem near the eastern border. The presence of Number 32 Lake and numerous named watercourses like Little Brush Cr and Hickory Br reflects a well-watered agricultural region where the topography is shaped by the drainage patterns of the Missouri plains.
