About this map

New Hartford and the southern hamlet of Marling anchor this rural Missouri landscape, defined by a dense network of country roads and creek drainages. The area is characterized by family-named landmarks and local institutions, including the Union School and Hopke School, which served the surrounding farming community. A significant genealogical record is preserved through numerous small burial grounds, such as Harelson Cemetery, Wright Cemetery, and Hays Cemetery, often located near historical homesteads or crossroads.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Indian Creek and Moore Branch winding through the terrain alongside named features like Moore Lake and Bachman Lake. The drainage system is intricate, featuring many named tributaries such as Big Lead Creek, Wolfpen Creek, and Roundtop Branch. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where the layout of roads like Co RD 161 and Co RD 218 continues to follow the early patterns of settlement and agricultural land division.
