About this map

The Nodaway River meanders across this rural Missouri landscape, defining the hydrology of an area marked by small-scale agriculture and dispersed settlements. The village of New Point serves as a central point for the surrounding farmstead network, which is connected by a grid of county highways and local routes like Squirrel Rd. This topography is shaped by numerous drainages including Hickory Creek, Arapahoe Creek, and Nichols Creek, which feed into the larger river system.

Local family history is rooted in several well-established burial grounds, such as Fairview Cemetery, Cowan Cemetery, McGuire Cemetery, and Nodaway Cemetery. These landmarks, along with named points like Lone Corner and Nichols Grove, indicate long-standing community identities. Water management is evident through features like Cain Farm Lake and Glen Meyer Lake, which provide recreational or agricultural utility within this corner of Holt County.
