2011 Map of Deerfield

About this map

The Marmaton River and Dry Wood Creek drainage systems define this section of Vernon County, where the agricultural landscape is marked by small settlements and historic family burial grounds. The community of Eve sits central to the quadrangle, while Deerfield occupies the eastern edge along the route of Old US Hwy 54. This 2011 survey highlights the transportation infrastructure that has shaped the area, most notably the Katy railroad line cutting north-south through the center of the sheet. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local cemeteries, including White Cemetery, Cox Cemetery, Deerfield Cemetery, and Logan Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the surrounding rural homesteads. The terrain is largely defined by river bottoms, punctuated by localized high points such as Vetters Hill and Vergil Mound.
