About this map

Parnell and the small settlement of Oxford anchor this rural landscape where the borders of Nodaway, Worth, and Gentry counties converge. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the Platte River to the west and the Grand River and Indian Cr to the east. This 2014 survey documents a region dominated by agricultural patterns, intersected by a network of local routes like Mo-W and Highway B.

Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by Worth County Community Lake, Worth Co B-Lake, and Ponder Lake. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies specific points of historical continuity such as the Parnell Cemetery and the more remote Watkins Cemetery. The presence of numerous named branches and creeks, including Grantham Cr and X Br, illustrates the natural irrigation and drainage that has shaped the development of these Northwest Missouri farmsteads.
