About this map

The Nodaway River carves a winding path along the eastern border of this territory, defining the boundary between Andrew and Holt Counties. This landscape is characterized by the upland plains and creek valleys typical of northwest Missouri, where agriculture and small rural settlements like Nichols Grove and Lone Corner have long established the social fabric. A dense network of local roads such as Trinity Rd and Unicorn Rd connects these points, often following the section lines of the Public Land Survey System.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across the township. From the Fairview Cemetery in the north to the Nichols Grove Cemetery and Nodaway Cemetery further south, these locations mark the heritage of early settlers. Water features like Glen Meyer Lake and the numerous small tributaries including Hog Cr and Arapahoe Cr illustrate the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of farmsteads and the original village of New Point.
