About this map

Carthage sits as the central hub of this 2011 Jasper County survey, anchored by the winding course of the Spring River and its tributary, Buck Branch. The city's growth is evident in the residential expansion of outlying communities such as Kendricktown, Morgan Heights, and Pleasant Valley. Local history is preserved through several large burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cemetery, Park Cemetery, and Cedar Hill Cemetery, providing essential data for genealogical research.

The landscape is a mix of urban street grids and recreational spaces like Kellogg Lake and Knells Park. Transportation corridors are clearly defined, showing the modern highway network alongside older routes like Old 66 Blvd. On the southern edge of town, the Myers Park Memorial Municipal Airport and a separate Landing Strip further east highlight the importance of aviation to this regional center. Industrial and commercial development centers near Edwin and the rail corridors, while Maxville and Knights represent the transition to the more open lands of the county.
