2015 Map of Sarcoxie

About this map

Sarcoxie stands at the western edge of this survey, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of springs and creeks feeding the Center Creek drainage. The region is marked by significant topographic features like Dry Valley and numerous water sources including Linn Spring, Button Spring, and Huddock Spring. Small rural centers and crossroads such as Talmage City, Clarkson, and Pleasant Valley anchor the surrounding agricultural lands. This area, spanning the borders of Jasper, Newton, and Lawrence counties, reflects a long-established settlement pattern supported by the reliable water of Cave Spring and Clarkson Spring. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the township lines, notably Cave Spring Cemetery, Schooling Cemetery, and Dry Valley Cemetery, along with the Trinity Lutheran Cemetery located south of the main settlement.
