About this map

The Marmaton River and its tributaries carve a winding path through this corner of Vernon County, Missouri, just east of the Kansas state line. The landscape is defined by its rural crossroads and long-established burial grounds, such as White Cemetery and Cox Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the surrounding farming communities. Small settlements like Eve, Katy, and Swart mark the intersections of the gridded road system, reflecting the traditional rail and agricultural hubs of the region.

Distinctive geological features rise above the river bottoms, including Vetters Hill and the prominent Vergil Mound near the southern boundary. To the east, the village of Deerfield sits near the Deerfield Cemetery, while significant water bodies like Doctor R F Searl Lake and Dry Wood Creek highlight the drainage patterns of the western Missouri plains. The map preserves the names of numerous rural routes, from E Militia Rd to E Osage Nation Rd, which provide context for the local land use and history.
