2011 Map of Halfway

About this map

Hominy Creek and Coon Creek carve through this section of Polk County, defining a landscape of agricultural plateaus and timbered drainages. Small settlements like Halfway and Schofield anchor the rural road network, while the crossroad at Foose sits near the distinctive Blue Mounds and Brushy Mound landforms. This 2011 survey captures the area's long-standing community structure, evidenced by a high density of family-named burial grounds. Genealogists can locate several historic sites including Reed Cemetery in the northwest and Ankrom Cemetery near Schultz Creek. In the south, the village of Redtop and the Pig Field terrain feature sit among the headwaters of Prater Branch, showing the persistent rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
