2017 Map of Bellamy

About this map

Bellamy and the rural community of Rousertown anchor this 2017 survey of the borderlands between Vernon and Barton counties. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Clear Cr and Walnut Cr, which cut through a network of section roads like Veteran Rd and Waldo Rd. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including Olive Branch Cem, Arbor Grove Cem, and Dunnegan Grove Cem, scattered across the agricultural grid. To the south, Blanchards Lake serves as a significant hydrologic feature near the county line, while smaller tributaries like McCarty Cr and King Br drain the undulating prairie. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where historical family names persist through features like Tolson Cem and Warwick Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in this Missouri interior.
