About this map

London Cem sits in the northwest reaches of the landscape, a quiet landmark within the rural agricultural fabric where Nodaway and Atchison counties meet. This terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system of reservoirs and small lakes, including Nodaway-C-20 Lake, Derr Lake, and Linville Lake. These structures, part of the Hoover-Frankum Watershed project, reflect modern efforts to control drainage across the undulating hills of northwest Missouri.

The drainage network is anchored by Little Tarkio Creek and the East Fork Little Tarkio Creek, with several smaller tributaries like Headrick Branch and Hagey Branch carving through the farmland. A regular grid of country roads, including Apollo Trl and Birch Rd, provides access to these isolated reservoirs, while State Hwy M and State Hwy YY serve as the primary conduits through this sparsely settled corner of the state.
