2011 Map of Milford

About this map

The settlement of Milford serves as the central hub for this portion of Barton County, where the agricultural grid meets a winding network of waterways. The North Fork Spring River cuts across the southern reach of the landscape, while numerous tributaries like Horse Creek, Hyder Branch, and McCarty Creek create a dense drainage pattern throughout the prairie. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a rural landscape defined by section-line roads and scattered family heritage sites. Genealogists will find significant value in the placement of the Doylesport Cemetery, Howell Cemetery, and Cook Cemetery, which anchor the local history of the surrounding farmsteads. Smaller features such as Cass Lake and Ring Branch further distinguish the unique terrain of this western Missouri quadrangle.
