About this map

The Chariton River valley defines this Adair County landscape, winding through a network of small settlements and tributary streams north of Kirksville. The town of Novinger serves as a central hub, flanked by the smaller communities of Danforth, Tipperary, and Youngstown. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling waters of Forest Lake, which is surrounded by a dense system of hiking and access paths including Hickory Ridge Trl and Oak Ridge Trl.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the centrally located Novinger Cem to more isolated grounds such as Sloans Point Cem, Pinkerton Cem, and Parcell Salisbury Cem. The terrain rises from the river bottom to landmarks like Dave Hill, while numerous named branches like Spring Creek, Billy Cr, and Hog Cr carve through the wooded hills, reflecting the established rural geography of this part of northern Missouri.
