2019 Map of Smithville

About this map

Smithville serves as the central hub for this portion of DeKalb County, where state and local routes converge near the Smithville Municipal Airport. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Pine Creek, Eagle Cr, and Holmes Cr, creating a series of ridges and hollows such as Fuston Hollow to the northwest. This area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, offering significant value for genealogical research. Prominent sites include the DeKalb County Memorial Gardens and Whorton Springs Cem south of the main town center, along with numerous smaller plots like Baker Cem in Philippi and Adcock Cem near Midway. To the southwest, the terrain transitions toward Blue Springs, while the eastern edge is marked by the small settlement of Keltonburg near Sink Creek. The distribution of these named cemeteries and small communities like Snows Hill reflects a long-established rural settlement pattern that persists alongside modern aviation and highway infrastructure.
