2011 Map of Norwood

About this map

Norwood serves as a local hub in Wright County, situated along the BNSF Railway corridor and the modern alignment of Old Hwy 60. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Dry Creek and the South Fork Dry Creek, which cut through the hills near Mary Gray Hill and Samson Hollow. This 2011 survey reveals a settlement pattern anchored by small community centers like Macomb and the more isolated Filer near Tick Ridge. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, including the Calhoun Cemetery, Ryan Cemetery, and Mount Harmon Cemetery, which are scattered among a network of county roads like Cottengim Rd and Chadwell Rd. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the McIntosh Lake Dam controls the flow of Clever Creek, reflecting local water management in this rural Missouri landscape.
