2021 Map of Bellamy

About this map

Bellamy and Rousertown anchor this rural landscape in southern Vernon County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of waterways including Clear Cr, Walnut Cr, and McCarty Cr. The settlement pattern reflects a long-established agricultural community, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Olive Branch Cem, Arbor Grove Cem, and Tolson Cem. The section-line road grid, featuring routes like Veteran Rd and Waldo Rd, bisects the creek valleys and connects these small hubs. The southern portion of the survey crosses the boundary from Vernon into Barton County near Saint James Cem, showing the continuity of the landscape across administrative lines. This 2021 update documents the modern road network, including E DD Hwy and E B Hwy, while preserving the locations of legacy landmarks essential for local genealogical research.
