About this map

The Missouri River corridor defines the northern landscape of this region, where the town of New Haven serves as a primary hub. The Pacific railroad line tracks the riverbank, supporting the local economy alongside numerous quarries and a claypit scattered throughout the hills. Moving south from the river valley, the terrain transitions into a more rural settlement pattern characterized by small community centers and family-named landmarks.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and rural institutions, such as St Peter Cem, Assumption Ch, and the Campbellton Sch. The southern half of the map is punctuated by smaller hamlets including Campbellton, Lyon, and Kiel, while natural features like Boeuf Creek and Enoch Knob provide distinct geographic markers. The presence of numerous cemeteries like Nortmann Cem and Nauser Cem provides a detailed look at the historical population distribution outside of the main river town.
