About this map

The One Hundred and Two River meanders through the heart of this Nodaway County landscape, defining the agricultural rhythm of the area surrounding Pickering. This modern survey highlights a region shaped by its water management and rolling terrain, featuring a network of reservoirs and smaller bodies such as Mozingo Lake, Randall Lake, and Nodaway Number 4 Lake. The land rises into the Pinhook Hills and drops into the corridors of Jack Hollow and Long Hollow, illustrating the diverse topography of northwestern Missouri.

Local historians and genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of several rural burial grounds, including White Oak Cem, Gray Cem, and Coleman Cem, which anchor the map's grid of section lines and gravel roads. While the northern reaches of Maryville appear at the southwestern edge, the map primarily documents the rural infrastructure of townships connected by a dense network of numbered county roads and state highways.
