About this map

Shelby and the rural crossroads of Grantsville and Leverton anchor this corner of Linn County, characterized by a dense network of watercourses and agricultural lands. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Bear Creek and West Yellow Creek, which are fed by numerous named tributaries including Wolf Branch, Brushy Branch, and Plumb Branch. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rural infrastructure of the region, featuring the Leverton Post Office and the Grantsville Cemetery as central local landmarks.

A network of local roads such as Highway KK, Ivan Rd, and Hollow Rd connect the scattered farmsteads and rural properties. Significant hydrological features like the Sager Lake Dam on the southern portion of the map and the winding path of Big Turkey Creek further delineate the terrain. The map serves as a detailed record of land use and naming conventions in a quiet, stream-laced section of northern Missouri.
