2010 Map of Blanchard

About this map

Blanchard sits at the heart of this rural landscape on the Iowa-Missouri border, its small-town character defined by the Blanchard Post Office and nearby Blanchard Cemetery. To the northeast, the settlement of College Springs overlooks a terrain drained by West Mill Creek and East Mill Creek, while the Tarkio River and its tributary, Long Branch, cut through the western fields. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites across the countryside, including Grove Cemetery and High Prairie Cemetery, reflecting the area's deep-rooted family histories. The agricultural grid is shaped by thoroughfares like Nodaway Atchison Rd and Burr Oak Rd, which connect isolated farms to the regional hubs. This survey provides a clear look at the persistent rural organization of Page County, where the placement of Six Corners Cemetery and Elmo Cemetery marks the enduring boundaries of local communities.
