2015 Map of Bellamy

About this map

Bellamy and Rousertown anchor this rural landscape in southwestern Missouri, where the Vernon and Barton county lines meet along NE 100th Rd. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and local creeks, including the winding Clear Cr and McCarty Cr, which drain the open agricultural fields. Genealogists will find this particular survey exceptionally valuable for its mapping of numerous small burial grounds, such as Olive Branch Cemetery, Arbor Grove Cemetery, and Tolson Cemetery, many of which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares. Near the southern boundary, the waters of Blanchards Lake sit just north of the county divide. The arrangement of the landscape highlights a persistent pattern of small-scale rural settlements and family-named landmarks that have characterized this part of the state for generations.
