About this map

Sarcoxie stands at the western edge of this 2011 landscape, where the town's street grid meets the winding course of Center Creek. The area is defined by a dense network of springs and drainage branches, reflecting a hydrology that includes Cave Spring, Button Spring, Linn Spring, and Clarkson Spring. Settlement patterns outside the main town are anchored by smaller communities like Talmage City and Dry Valley, the latter of which features the Dry Valley Cemetery and Pleasant Valley to the south.

Genealogists can trace several burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the Cave Spring Cemetery near Rickman Creek and the Schooling Cemetery further east. The transition from established town sites to rural farm roads like Cimarron Rd and Dogwood Rd illustrates the region's agricultural character. This survey captures the modern alignment of Interstate 44 as it bypasses the historical center of Sarcoxie, cutting through the headwaters of Cave Spring Branch.
