About this map

Tavern Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Tavern Cr and Wiemer Cr, carve through the landscape along the border of Miller and Maries counties. This rural Missouri environment is defined by small, dispersed settlements like Van Cleve, Meyerstown, and Tavern, connected by a network of local roads such as Kemna Bridge Rd and Balmhoer School Rd.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of family-named burial grounds. From the Pendleton Cem and Barnhart Cem in the north to the Jim - Matt Lawson Cem and Wheeer Cem further south, these sites offer a direct link to the area's early residents. The presence of the Campground Christian Church Cem indicates a long-standing community focal point in an area where names like Meddleberger Br and Shelton Br speak to generations of local land use.
