About this map

Weatherby sits at the junction of modern rural transit routes in DeKalb County, serving as a primary point of reference in this landscape of shifting agricultural boundaries. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Grindstone Creek and its many tributaries, including Irvins Br and Fruins Br, which carve through the plains. This 2014 survey documents the enduring presence of small rural centers like Santa Rosa and Alta Vista, which persist alongside the county line dividing DeKalb and Daviess.

Local family history is rooted in the dispersed burial grounds found throughout the township, such as Muddy Cemetery to the north and Cope Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle. The map reveals a dense network of secondary roads and named avenues, such as NE Gospel Rd and Major Ave, tracing the original section lines of the Public Land Survey System that have organized this Missouri farmland for generations.
