2017 Map of Buffalo NW

About this map

The community of Halfway sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape where Polk and Dallas counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Lindley Cr and Little Lindley Cr, which carve through the countryside toward the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This area preserves several localized burial sites that offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Breshears Cem in the north and Ragsdale Cem further south. The map reflects a predominantly rural settlement pattern, where long-standing section lines are traced by modern thoroughfares like Rice School Rd and State HWY C. These roads follow the high ground between the drainage basins of Jordan Cr and Brush Cr, documenting the enduring layout of Missouri's family farms and small rural tracts.
