About this map

The southern outskirts of Carthage meet the rural township of Fidelity in this detailed survey of the Jasper and Newton County line. This area is defined by the winding course of Center Creek and its various tributaries, including Fidelity Br and Jenkins Creek. The landscape is dotted with small family and community burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Fullerton Cem near the creek and Moss Springs Cem to the east.

Further south, the map reaches the northern edge of Diamond, illustrating the transition from the denser residential blocks of the county seat toward the open agricultural land of the Missouri prairie. Notable named rural roads like Cimmarron Rd and S Garrison Ave provide a framework for locating old homesteads and identifying the 19th-century land divisions that still shaped the region into the 21st century.
