About this map

Halfway sits at the junction of regional routes in Polk County, serving as a primary hub for a landscape defined by small agricultural settlements and family burial grounds. This rural interior of Missouri, surveyed in the mid-2010s, preserves the footprints of early communities like Schofield, Foose, and Redtop. The terrain is characterized by rolling uplands and distinct topographic rises such as Blue Mound and the Blue Mounds further south.

Genealogists can find significant local-history value in the distribution of family and community graveyards, including Prairie Grove Cemetery, Gorden Cemetery, and Ankrom Cemetery. Waterways like Lindley Cr and Hominy Cr carve through the countryside, dictating the placement of secondary roads and field boundaries. The map provides a clear look at the township and range system (T33N R21W) as it interacts with the Polk and Dallas County border.
