2014 Map of Ravanna

About this map

Ravanna sits at the center of this rural Mercer County landscape, where the local road network follows the rigorous grid of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Little Medicine Cr and W Honey Cr, which cut through the undulating Missouri countryside. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of the community’s ancestors, precisely locating several burial grounds including Ravanna Cemetery, Duree Cemetery, Anderson Cemetery, and Weisner Cemetery. These cemeteries, often positioned on high ground or near creek bends, serve as the primary landmarks in an area dominated by agricultural sections. The modern transportation corridors, such as Mo-Aa, provide the primary east-west access through the township sections of T65N and T66N, connecting the isolated farmsteads and creek valleys.
