About this map

Deerfield and the surrounding agricultural lands of Vernon Co Missouri are defined by a network of waterways and early prairie settlements. The Marmaton River meanders through the northern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by seasonal wetlands and tributaries like Shiloh Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The landscape is a mix of floodplains and low rises, including notable high points such as Vergil Mound and Vetters Hill.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, including White Cem, Cox Cem, and the Logan Cem. Transportation routes follow a rigid grid, reflecting the township and range system, with named corridors such as Osage Nation Rd and Catt School RD linking the small community at Eve to the rail siding at Swart. The southern portion of the area is drained by Dry Wood Creek and Moores Br, which weave through the prairie before reaching the Kansas border.
