2014 Map of Sue City

About this map

Sue City and Goodland anchor this rural landscape where the borders of Macon, Knox, and Shelby Counties converge. The terrain is defined by the branching drainages of the North Fork Salt River and Bear Cr, which carve through the farmland to create a network of ridges and draws. For family historians, the area is rich with small burial grounds, including the Cupp Cemetery, Bowan Cemetery, and Blanchard Cemetery near Goodland, as well as the Mount Olive Cemetery further south near Nickellton. Local transit in this part of Missouri relies on a grid of county roads and named routes such as Orion St and Navy St, while Rays Bridge provides a crossing over the Salt River near the eastern community of Lakeland.
