2012 Map of Colcord

About this map

The town of Colcord and the nearby community of Row anchor this section of Delaware County, where the Ozark plateau landscape is deeply carved by water. Several family and community burial grounds, including Ofield Cem, Row Cem, and Beck Cem, are scattered across the township, providing a clear record of local settlement patterns and genealogy. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Spavinaw Cr, Hog Eye Cr, and Cherokee Cr, which have created distinctive terrain features such as Eagles Bluff and the curiously named Crazy Nance Hollow. These drainages dictate the local road network, which primarily consists of rural routes like Oak Hill Rd and D0460 Rd that navigate between the steep-sided hollows, including Beartoter Hollow and Beamer Hollow, reflecting the area's agricultural and homesteading history.
