2021 Map of Cedar Vista

About this map

The Pomme de Terre River meanders through this Polk County landscape, defining the topography between the small settlements of Burns and Van. The area is characterized by a dense network of creek systems including Slagle Cr, Wolf Cr, and Sycamore Cr that feed into the river valley. In the southwest corner, Cedar Vista and Slagle sit near the transition to more open ground, while the Bolivar Municipal Airport provides a modern navigational landmark to the west. Local genealogy and land-use researchers will find value in the specific placement of family-named landmarks such as Graveyard Hill and crossing points like Sunset Bridge. The map captures a rural Missouri community where state highways such as State Hwy AA and State Hwy YY connect dispersed farmsteads and creek-side dwellings.
