About this map

Unionville anchors the northwest corner of this Putnam County landscape, where the street grid of Warner St and Garfield St transitions into a network of rural county highways. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system of meandering waterways, including North Blackbird Creek and South Blackbird Creek, which create a complex topography of ridges and valleys.

For those researching family history in this part of Missouri, the map is a significant record of rural interment sites. A high density of family and community burial grounds is scattered across the township, such as Anders Cemetery, Pherigo Cemetery, and Burnett Cemetery. The small settlement of Rosewood sits centrally along the highway, serving as a landmark in a territory primarily occupied by agricultural tracts and timbered creek bottoms like those of Kinney Creek and North Spring Creek.
