About this map

The South Fabius River and its many meandering tributaries define this landscape at the junction of Knox, Lewis, and Shelby counties. The village of Newark serves as a primary point of interest for genealogists, featuring the Old Newark Baptist Church and nearby burial grounds including Newark Cem and Old Newark Cem. Further east, the settlement of Steffenville sits near the banks of the river system, while Steffen Lake provides a localized water feature in the transition toward the Shelby County line.

Waterways like the Little Fabius River, Tiger Fork, and Thomas Br create a dense drainage pattern across the township sections of T60N and T59N. Local history is etched into the land through family-named sites such as Downing Cem and Nelson Cem, which remain as physical markers of the area's early residents. The network of county roads, including State HWY E and State HWY J, connects these rural communities across the rolling terrain of Northeast Missouri.
