2012 Map of Farmers City

About this map

Farmers City stands as a central point in this rural landscape of Atchison County, Missouri, and southwestern Iowa, where the local road system follows a strict township and range grid. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainage patterns, including Rock Creek and Middle Tarkio Creek, which dictated the early placement of farmsteads and transport routes. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of the Saint Pauls Lutheran Cemetery and Grange Hall Cemetery, which serve as quiet landmarks for the community's ancestral history. The map's layout illustrates how early 21st-century agricultural life is organized around these watercourses and historical gathering places, with High Creek appearing as both a settlement name and a prominent tributary. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the persistent rural character of the region, anchored by established county highways like Co Hwy J60 and Co Hwy M16.
