1981 Map of Farmers City

About this map

The Missouri-Iowa state line bisects this agricultural landscape, where the border between Fremont County and Atchison County follows the same path. The drainage patterns of the Loess Hills define the terrain, with Mill Creek, High Creek, and West High Creek flowing through the western sections of Madison and Polk townships. Centrally located, the small settlement of Farmers City serves as a local landmark amidst a network of rural roads and scattered houses of worship, including Locust Grove Ch and St Pauls Ch. This 1981 survey documents the late 20th-century rural infrastructure before modern consolidation changed many such crossroads communities. Genealogists may find value in the location of Grange Hall Cem and St Johns Ch, while the course of West Tarkio Creek and Rock Creek illustrates the intricate hydrology of Lincoln and Locust Grove townships.
