About this map

The Pomme de Terre River carves a winding path through this portion of Polk County, defining a landscape shaped by numerous small tributaries such as McKinney Br, Kilburn Br, and Whitten Br. Small crossroads communities and settlements like Burns, Van, and Sunset are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of county roads and state routes like Mo-Y and Mo-Aa. The presence of the Sunset Bridge and the Bolivar Municipal Airport indicates the infrastructure supporting these rural locales.

Prominent landforms such as Graveyard Hill stand out against the drainage patterns of Wolf Cr and Deer Cr. Near the southwestern corner, the settlements of Slagle and Cedar Vista mark the edge of this transition between river valley and upland. The map provides a clear view of how land divisions and local names persist in this part of Missouri, from family-named branches like Steinshouer Br to established creek systems like Slagle Cr.
