2021 Map of Farmers City

About this map

Farmers City sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape along the border of Iowa and Missouri. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of High Cr, Rock Cr, and W Tarkio Cr, which carve through the rolling hills of Atchison County. This modern survey reflects a settlement pattern rooted in the 19th-century rural economy, where small community centers and family-named cemeteries served localized farm districts. The map preserves several burial sites that are vital for genealogical research, including Locust Grove Cem in the north and the Saint John's Church Cem further south. The presence of the Grange Hall Cem points to the historical importance of the Grange movement in this region's social and economic history. A rigid grid of section-line roads, such as State Hwy F and 120 St, provides the primary infrastructure for this enduring prairie farming community.
