2017 Map of Woodlawn

About this map

Woodlawn serves as the central focal point of this agricultural landscape along the Shelby Co Monroe Co line. The terrain is deeply defined by the drainage network of the Middle Fork Salt River, where numerous small tributaries like Otter Cr, Flat Cr, and Bear Br carve into the northern Missouri plains. This 2017 survey reflects a rural settlement pattern where family and community history is preserved in small, scattered burial grounds. These sites, including Atterberry Cem, Forest Grove Cem, and Millner Cem, are situated on higher ground overlooking the river valleys, marking generations of local residents. The road network, comprising state routes such as State Hwy J and State Hwy A alongside numerous county roads, follows the township and range sections that have organized this territory since the 19th century.
