About this map

Omaha and the surrounding rural landscapes of Putnam County, Missouri, and southern Iowa are meticulously documented in this 2012 survey. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads, such as Co HWY-211 and Co HWY-180, which connect small settlements like Chariton and Esper. A significant number of burial grounds, including Zoar Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Friendship Cemetery, are scattered across the terrain, serving as vital landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages in this border region.

The topography is shaped by numerous winding waterways, including Turkey Creek, Brush Creek, and Shoal Creek, which cut through the agricultural fields. The concentration of family-named landmarks like Shoney Cemetery, Mitchell Cemetery, and Shipley Cemetery highlights the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the local community. This map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure and land divisions as they existed in the early 21st century.
