2010 Map of Omaha

About this map

Omaha and Chariton serve as small rural hubs in this agricultural landscape near the Missouri-Iowa border. The map is heavily marked by a high concentration of burial grounds, providing significant value for genealogical research in Putnam County. These include the Zoar Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Friendship Cemetery, along with smaller family or community plots like Shoney Cemetery, Mitchell Cemetery, and Berry Cemetery. A dense network of creeks, including Turkey Creek, Brush Creek, and Spring Creek, drains the undulating terrain, which is segmented by a grid of named local roads and trails. The layout of these routes, such as Petty Mill Trl and Ninebark Trl, reflects the persistent rural settlement pattern of the early twenty-first century, where traditional named trails remained vital connectors between isolated farmsteads and the outlying hamlets of Esper and Chariton.
