2017 Map of Bolivar

About this map

Bolivar serves as the regional hub for Polk County, anchored by the campus of Southwest Baptist Univ and a grid of streets including W Broadway St and E Division St. This 2017 survey details the urban center's expansion alongside rural landscapes marked by several family and municipal burial grounds, such as City Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Spencer Cem to the west. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, including Bear Cr, Walnut Cr, and Tommie Cr, which carve through the land surrounding smaller outlying communities. To the south and east, the settlements of Karlin, Wishart, and Slagle remain distinct locales connected by a web of county roads and the Cherokee Airpark, illustrating the modern balance of collegiate life and Missouri's enduring agricultural character.
