2012 Map of Sue City

About this map

Saling Branch meanders across this rural Missouri landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and family burial grounds in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a agricultural community structured around the North Fork Salt River, where established locales like Sue City and Nickellton serve as local hubs. For genealogists, the distribution of small cemeteries is particularly noteworthy, including Cupp Cemetery, Bowan Cemetery, and Blanchard Cemetery, which are often the primary remaining evidence of early family landholdings. To the south, Lakeland sits near the riverbanks, while Rays Bridge provides a vital crossing point over the North Fork. The terrain is defined by a series of creeks, such as Bear Creek and Twomile Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads and farming boundaries throughout this portion of Shelby County.
