2011 Map of Reeds

About this map

Center Creek and Jenkins Creek define the agricultural landscape of eastern Jasper County, where small agricultural crossroads and family cemeteries anchor the rural community. The city of Sarcoxie occupies the eastern edge of the map, served by a network of farm-to-market roads including Cimarron Rd and Apple Rd. Smaller named localities such as Motley, Parshley, and Pepsin represent the enduring settlement patterns of the Ozark plateau. Several burial grounds, including the Reeds Cemetery, Motley Cemetery, and Powers Cemetery, provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The map illustrates a landscape of organized section lines and creek-fed valleys, with the northern village of Reeds situated near the intersection of several county roads and the winding path of Motley Branch.
