About this map

The settlement of London serves as the focal point for this rural landscape along the border of Atchison and Nodaway counties. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by extensive watershed management, with numerous reservoirs including the Hoover-Frankum Watershed A-11 Reservoir and Hoover-Frankum Watershed E-20 Reservoir scattered across the township lines. For genealogists, the London Cemetery remains a key landmark for tracing family roots in this corner of Northwest Missouri.

Water systems dominate the topography, with the Little Tarkio Creek and its tributary, the E Fork Little Tarkio Creek, carving through the farmland. The map detail highlights several recreational and agricultural water bodies such as Nodaway C-20 Lake, Derr Lake, and Linville Lake, alongside smaller watercourses like Long Br and Headrick Br. The section-line road network, from 160th St down to 240th St, provides the structural grid for this agricultural community.
