2021 Map of Nashville

About this map

Nashville anchors the southwestern corner of this Barton County landscape, a rural community defined by its straight-grid section lines and agricultural expanses. The terrain is drained by several watercourses, including the Little N Fork of the Spring River and the winding paths of Murphy Cr and Duval Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its placement of three distinct burial grounds: the Nashville Cemetery near the town site, Pierce Cem further north, and the Apostolic Christian Cemetery located near the center of the quadrangle. The map reflects a deeply established rural structure where the land is partitioned by an extensive network of numbered roads, from SW 5th RD in the north to SW 85th RD in the south, illustrating the enduring township-and-range surveying system of Missouri's western plains.
