About this map

Omaha sits at the intersection of local county roads in Putnam County, Missouri, serving as a central point in this rural landscape north of the Chariton River basin. The area is defined by a dense network of cemeteries, suggesting long-established family homesteads and local congregations across the borderlands of Iowa and Missouri. Historic burial sites such as Shoney Cem, Mitchell Cem, and Friendship Cem are scattered throughout the hills, often located near small drainages like Turkey Cr and Brush Cr.

Transport in this region relies on a grid of gravel and dirt routes, including Petty Mill Trl and Co Hwy Z, which navigate the dissected terrain. The northern portion of the map crosses into Appanoose County, Iowa, where Zoar Cem and Union Cem overlook the headwaters of Packard Cr. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the rural property divisions and water features like Sand Cr that have shaped the agricultural life of this border country for generations.
