About this map

Weatherby and the surrounding agricultural lands of Adams and Jefferson townships are mapped here in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Grindstone Creek and its many tributaries, including Lazy Creek and Owl Creek. This era of the DeKalb and Daviess County border reflects a transition in infrastructure, most notably marked by the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the terrain near Santa Rosa.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural landmarks of interest, including Alta Vista Church and its neighboring cemetery, as well as the Fairview Church further east. Scattered family and community burial sites like Cope Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Reid Cemetery provide a detailed look at the settlement patterns of this northwestern Missouri region. Small clusters of residences at Irvins and Alta Vista further anchor the geography of these rural townships.
