About this map

Carthage serves as the focal point of this 2017 Jasper County survey, where the Spring River and its tributary Buck Br shape the local landscape. The map reveals a dense network of suburban and rural communities including Kendricktown, Morgan Heights, and Pleasant Valley that have grown around the central municipality. A significant concentration of historical interest lies in the large cemetery tracts such as Park Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Cedar Hill Cem, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Missouri.

Transportation corridors including the Missouri & Northern Arkansas RR and aviation sites like Lee's Flying Park and Barlet's Base Airport underscore the region's infrastructure. Small outlying settlements like Carytown, Maxville, and Knights indicate the persistent rural character of the county outside the primary city limits, while Kellogg Lake offers a prominent hydrological landmark north of the urban center.
