2012 Map of Stahl

About this map

Stahl and the surrounding Adair County countryside are defined by a network of rural routes and waterway branches feeding into the larger creek systems of northern Missouri. This early 21st-century survey reveals a landscape of dispersed agricultural settlements, including Sidney and Shibleys Point, connected by a web of county highways and roads. The terrain is deeply etched by water, with Shuteve Creek and Spring Creek carving paths through the rolling acreage. Genealogists will find an unusually dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, from the Husted Cemetery in the north to the Green Castle Cemetery in the south, preserving the names of the region's early inhabitants. The presence of Stroup Siding near the confluence of Turkey Creek and Spring Creek points to the area's logistical history, while the Union Ridge State Frst represents preserved natural space among the farmsteads.
