1984 Map of Biardstown

About this map

Biardstown and the surrounding Lamar County countryside are defined by a network of creeks and small crossroads settlements in the mid-1970s. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural character, interspersed with small community hubs like Glory, Atlas, and Frog Hop. Transportation history is clearly visible through the presence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and a distinct Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the northern sections. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Mc Donald Cem, Antioch Cem, and Brackeen Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses such as Auds Creek, Hickory Creek, and Pecan Creek, which have historically influenced the placement of homesteads and local infrastructure like the Delmar Sch near Broadway Junction.
