2010 Map of Plano

About this map

Rathbun Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Appanoose County region, where the flooded reaches of the South Fork Chariton River create a complex shoreline of inlets and points. The area is characterized by small, dispersed rural settlements such as Plano, Confidence, and Griffinsville, which are connected by a grid of local routes like Co RD j18 and HWY j18. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds that suggest a long-established agricultural community, including the Wadlington Cemetery, Brushy Cemetery, and Philadelphia Cemetery near Garfield. Numerous watercourses like Sandy Branch and Little Walnut Creek drain the surrounding fields, while the Plano Post Office serves as a central landmark for the local township. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land use just south of the lake.
