2021 Map of Fidelity

About this map

Fidelity and Diamond anchor this 2021 survey of the borderlands between Jasper and Newton Counties. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Center Creek, including Jones Creek and Jenkins Creek, which carve through the terrain south of Carthage. This rural expanse is notable for its high density of local burial sites, providing significant value for genealogical research. Documented landmarks include Fullerton Cem, Moss Springs Cem, and the centrally located Fidelity Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary road network, showing how modern routes like Cimmarron Rd and Newton Rd intersect with traditional farm-to-market pathways. The transition from the outskirts of Carthage in the north to the more open agricultural reaches near Diamond reflects the enduring rural character of this Southwest Missouri region.
