About this map

Bonne Femme Creek and its many tributaries, including Adams Fork and Salt Cr, carve through the Howard County landscape north of the Missouri River. This 2014 survey documents the enduring layout of rural communities like Estill and the historic relationship between New Franklin and Franklin near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by a network of county roads and historic cemeteries that serve as vital touchstones for local genealogists.

Legacy landmarks such as Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Robinson Cemetery, and Drake Cemetery are clearly positioned among the drainage basins of Eaton Br and Sulphur Cr. The map captures the interface of established township boundaries, including t50n r16w and t49n r15w, with modern infrastructure like Highway J and the Katy Trl corridor, providing a comprehensive view of the region's contemporary land use and historical geography.
