About this map

Neck City and the surrounding agricultural plains of Barton and Jasper Counties are defined by a network of rural settlements and meandering waterways. The landscape transitions from the higher grounds near Nashville in the northwest toward the riparian corridor of the North Fork Spring River and Spring River in the south. This era shows a community structured around section-line roads like Barton Co Blvd and Redbud Rd, connecting smaller hubs such as Tuckers Corner and Cossville.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, which preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including Shapley Cemetery, Bradford Cemetery, and Cedar Bluff Cemetery. The presence of Shelton Lake and various creek branches like Duval Creek and Buck Branch illustrates the drainage patterns vital to the region's farms. Near the southern edge, Cyokamo Camp sits along the river, marking a point of local recreation and gathering in this prairie-border environment.
