2017 Map of Sarcoxie

About this map

Sarcoxie sits at the western edge of this landscape where the boundaries of Jasper, Newton, and Lawrence counties converge. This 2017 survey details a countryside defined by spring-fed waters and small rural settlements, including Pleasant Valley and the terrain of Dry Valley. The area's agricultural and social foundations are evidenced by a series of family and community burial grounds, such as Schooling Cem and the Trinity Lutheran Cem. Water remains a central feature of the local geography, with Center Creek flowing through the northern sections and numerous smaller sources like Linn Spring, Haddock Spring, and Blevins Lake scattered across the township lines. The dense network of county roads, including Dogwood Rd and Cimarron Rd, illustrates the enduring connectivity of these Ozark Plateau communities.
