About this map

Wheaton serves as a central hub in this corner of Barry and Newton Counties, situated at the junction of several key routes including State Hwy A and State Hwy W. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Shoal Creek and Middle Indian Cr, which carve through the terrain to form notable features like Shannon Hollow and Edmondson Hollow. To the north, the small settlements of Fairview and Pioneer sit along an established grid of rural roads, including State Hwy HH and State Hwy B.

Local history is preserved in small rural burial grounds such as Barker Cem, Mount Olive Cem, and Muncle Chapel Cem. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where agriculture meets the winding creek beds of Zerbert Br and S Fork Cupps Cr. The intersection of county lines and township ranges provides a clear framework for researchers tracing 21st-century property boundaries and land use in this Missouri region.
